‘Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' trailer: Diganth returns; Four murders, one accident
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Kannada cinema's charming star Diganth Manchale is back, this time in a quirky black comedy titled 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' (translated as The Reason for the Left-Handed Accident). Directed by Samarth B Kadkol, the film blends murder, mystery, and humour in a plot where nothing—and no one—is what they seem. The newly released trailer hints at a refreshingly quirky storyline that centers on four murders and a mysterious accident — all somehow connected to the main character's unusual struggle of being left-handed in a world designed for right-handers. Diganth as Lohit Rajesh: A leftie caught in chaos Diganth steps into the role of Lohit Rajesh, a techie who kicks off the trailer with an odd but attention-grabbing revelation — he's involved in four murders and one accident. But according to him, none of it is really his fault. His explanation? Being left-handed in a right-handed world naturally leads to 'accidents.' It's a strange premise, but one that instantly sets the tone for a film packed with oddball humour, unexpected twists, and plenty of chaos. The story leans heavily on situational comedy while keeping a layer of suspense alive throughout. Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana Official Trailer |Diganth|Dhanu|Nidhi |Samarth |Hyphen - Keelambi Studio A strong ensemble adds to the fun The film also stars Nidhi Subbaiah , Dhanu Harsha, Sourav Lokesh, and Krishna Hebbale, with special appearances by Radhika Narayan and Nirup Bhandari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo With this cast and its offbeat setup, the film promises a fun, entertaining ride full of quirky moments and unpredictable turns.

Diganth's massive comeback is on cards The film also marks a reunion between Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah, a pair that charmed audiences with the cult romantic hit Pancharangi in 2010. Over a decade later, their screen presence still holds nostalgic value for fans. Meanwhile, Diganth appears to be establishing himself as the go-to face for quirky roles, with recent films like 'Bachelor Party' and 'Powder'. 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana', set to release in theatres on June 13, could be another feather in his cap, and the expectations are quite high.

As per the poster, the full name of the film is 'The Bengal Files: Right to Life'. It was previously titled, 'The Delhi Files – The Bengal Chapter'. Sharing the reason behind the title change, Vivek tells us, 'The first and foremost reason is that the film is about Bengal.

'But then people started writing and asking me to make it the Bengal Files. Then I did a poll where 99 people asked me to change the title. That's when I thought, why get stuck in the communication... Now, it makes more sense.' Now, the director shared that the second film will also undergo a title change. 'We will have to change the title of the second part as well.... But that's something we will see after releasing the first chapter,' he shares. A post shared by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) It is believed that Vivek's film will delve into the Hindu genocide and explore the far-reaching consequences of political decisions made in the 1940s in Bengal. Directed by Vivek and jointly produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi, the film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and Govind Namdev, among others, in key roles.

For Daviss, known for playing Pope Heyward and recently seen in Do Revenge, the opportunity is both monumental and deeply personal. 'playing a character like like Dog man he's he's an icon... I really want to get down to who he was as a person,' he said. 'I take it in small pieces... it's a process and I've just been learning and growing and got a great teacher,' Jonathan added. The film also marks the first title to come out of Death Row Pictures' overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios, with Universal's Ryan Jones overseeing the production.
