The trailer for Kannada movie Kotee, featuring Daali Dhananjaya, has been released on the Saregama Kannada YouTube channel. In Kotee, Dhananjaya plays a sincere, everyday driver with a dream to earn Rs 1 crore through honest means to support his family. The film, depicting Kotee's journey, is scheduled for release on June 14.
The trailer, which premiered at a release event, highlights Dhananjaya's portrayal of an ordinary man, Ramesh Indira as the notorious villain, Thara as the mother, vibrant visuals, a compelling background score, and captivating Hulivesha (tiger dance) sequences.
"This is the story of a middle-class common man. It’s a family entertainer that everyone will connect with," commented Dhananjaya.
Director Param, also speaking at the trailer launch event, said, "This is a content-driven commercial film. A compelling story and great entertainment are guaranteed."
Kotee, a narrative deeply rooted in Kannada culture, has already generated excitement with its teaser and songs. In a year lacking major successes in the Kannada film industry, Kotee is seen as a potential hit.
