"Jaggu Dada" is being considered an acid test for Darshan since his recent movies have failed to live up to the viewers' expectations. The Challenging Star, whose earlier release of this year, "Viraat," had also disappointed fans, is under pressure to deliver a hit this time.

No wonder then that all eyes will now scrutinise the actor's much-awaited Kannada movie, "Jaggu Dada," which hits the screens on Friday, June 10. The movie is written and directed by Raghavendra Hegde while the screenplay has been penned by Younis.

Deeksha Seth has paired up with Darshan in "Jaggu Dada," which also features Rachita Ram and Pranitha Subhash in guest appearances. Srujan Lokesh, Ananth Nag, P Ravishankar and others form the rest of the cast. The film has V Harikrishna's music, HC Venu's cinematography and Pankraj Sharma's editing. The movie has managed to generate positive vibes around it through its teasers and the trailer. The success of the audio has also made people keep high hopes on the Kannada film. Hence, the film is being released in a big way in Karnataka.

The Darshan and Deeksha Seth-starrer is a family entertainer with an ample dose of commercial elements, combined with comedy and action.The movie tells the story of Jaggu Dada (Darshan), who goes to Mumbai in search of his life partner.

His late grandfather Shankar Dada (Ravi Shankar) haunts him to marry a cultured girl so that their family connection with the underworld ends with his grandson. But nobody is willing to give a girl to Darshan as he is a gangster. Hence, he leaves to Mumbai.  The hero seeks the help of matchmaker Gowri (Deeksha Seth) to find a suitable girl for him. What happens next should be watched on-screen.
