Actor Praveen, known for his comedic roles, is making his debut as a hero in the upcoming film Bakāsura Restaurant, set to release on August 8. Directed by SJ Shiva, the film is a horror-comedy thriller that combines elements of mythology, emotion, and humor.
Praveen plays Paramesh, a key character with both emotional depth and entertainment value. He admits feeling some pressure since the story revolves around his character, but he is confident in the director’s vision and is committed to promoting the film well.
The film features a unique “foodie ghost” concept, which creates challenges in an entertaining and emotional way. Though the budget slightly exceeded expectations, Praveen feels the final output is satisfying and believes the movie will be well-received.
He dismisses concerns about losing comedic roles after becoming a lead actor and says he remains open to all kinds of roles. Currently, he is working on several other projects, including Vishwambhara and Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
Distributed by Dil Raju’s SVC banner, the film’s emotional climax is expected to resonate deeply with audiences. Praveen concludes that his goal is to turn work pressure into pleasure and continue choosing films that deliver strong entertainment.
