Bahaddur (Kannada: ಬಹದ್ದೂರ್) is a 2014 Indian Kannada language film directed by Chethan Kumar and produced by R. Srinivas. The film stars Dhruva Sarja and Radhika Pandit in the lead roles. The supporting cast features P. Ravi Shankar, Achyuth Kumar, Jai Jagadish and Srinivasa Murthy. The film released on 3 October 2014, in 7.1 surround sound, the first in Kannada cinema.
Speculations of Radhika Pandit having been signed as the female lead opposite Sarja were confirmed in March 2013. However, Sarja's signing was confirmed in October 2013. Having worked together in Addhuri (2012) previously, the film was their second together. It was revealed in August 2014, that actor Puneeth Rajkumar would be giving a voice-over for the film. Speaking on the importance of this, the director Chethan Kumar said, "The film begins with Puneeth's voice over. He introduces the characters and the story and his voice becomes the sutradhar of the film, as it returns towards the end of the film. What he says also forms an essence of this story that we have tried to narrate".
After the film was announced in 2012, the filming got underway, until the producers Legend International backed out in March 2013, following losses incurred from the failure of its previous production Andhar Bahar. Filming then resumed after R. S. Productions took over in October 2013. Majority of the film was shot in Mysore and Hubli, among other places like Bangalore and Mandya. Two songs for the film were shot in Malaysia. In an interview, Sarja revealed that he had to put on 22 kg for his role in the film and then shed 18 kg for the song sequences.
