As a sweet treat to the late actor’s fans on his 48th birth anniversary, Gandhadagudi – Journey of a True Hero gives a glimpse of Puneeth Rajkumar’s zeal and love for nature and his native land. In the docu-feature, the Power Star actor and filmmaker Amoghavarsha sets out on a trip in Karnataka to capture the region’s abundant wildlife, scenic beauty, water bodies, and forgotten tales. The duo also broaches environmental concerns around plastic use, water conservation, and deforestation. Adding a personal touch, the feature gives interesting insight into Puneeth’s extraordinary lineage, his father, the legendary actor Dr. Rajkumar.
Speaking about Gandhadagudi’s streaming premiere on Prime Video, Ashwini Puneeth Rajkumar said, ‘The film was Appu’s dream project, and he always wanted to do something about environmental conservation. The film was showered with an overwhelmingly positive response by Appu’s fans and audiences in Karnataka, and we felt it was a natural progression for the world to witness this beautiful journey. We are grateful to everyone who has supported us throughout the journey of this film. We have collaborated with Prime Video many times in the past and are thrilled that through our long-standing association we can take Appu’s last film to his fans and audiences across the country on his birth anniversary.’

Director Amoghavarsha added, 'It was heartening to see Gandhadagudi and its unique experience receive historic positive reviews from across the world. Gandhadagudi is a window into the unseen, mystical India and showcases a unique eastern view of our relationship with nature. As a country of 1.4 billion+ people we still have the largest number of tigers and elephants roaming freely - and GG tries to answer this enigma. I’m extremely happy that the audience can journey with Puneeth and uncover, experience these never before seen wonders and a slice of his real, raw self. I am thrilled that through Prime Video the docu-feature will reach out to a wider audience in the country.'
Speaking about the film’s digital premiere, music director B. Ajaneesh Loknath said, ‘Gandhadagudi is my first collaboration as a music director with Puneeth Rajkumar, and I feel lucky to have worked on this special project. Composing for this music was extremely unique and integral to the docu-drama. I have incorporated a lot of folk tunes to elevate the experiential experience of the flora and fauna showcased in the film. With the film’s streaming premiere on Prime Video, I am glad that more audiences will be able to witness this beautiful immersive experience about Karnataka.’
