The film was shot across diverse locations, including the Sampaje forest in Madikeri, Male Mahadeshwara Hills, and Bengaluru. We spent 25 days filming in these beautiful yet challenging locations, which adds to the intrigue surrounding the plot.”

Forest is a complete entertainer—fun, adventurous, and engaging. It’s a film that will appeal to all kinds of audiences.”

The cast also shared some thoughts on their roles. Rangayana Raghu, who plays a sorcerer, clarifies, “This is not a story about growing or preserving forests.

Anish Tejeshwar, stepping out of his usual genre, reveals, “This is the first time I’ve taken on a role outside my comfort zone, and I’m excited about how it’s turned out.” Archana Kottige, who plays Meenakshi, also spoke about how her character has many action-packed sequences: “My role has a special element with some thrilling action scenes, which adds a unique touch to the film,” she shares, signing off.
