The 134-minute film's trailer gained attention on social media for its intriguing characters and storyline. It is an adaptation of the Kannada novel "Neenu Ninnolage Khaidi" ("I Am a Prisoner Like You") by Anush A. Shetty. Director Ajay Nag describes "Aarambham" as a drama that explores themes of prison break, mystery, and d¨¦j¨¤ vu, with some surprise elements for the audience.
"Aarambham" began taking shape in 2021, when the digital space was particularly welcoming to new directors and innovative concepts. However, as the industry evolved, streaming platforms started prioritising films that had theatrical releases over direct-to-digital releases. This shift presented new challenges for the "Aarambham" team. Despite these hurdles, Ajay Nag remains confident that the indie film possesses the unique qualities needed to attract audiences to theatres and, subsequently, to its digital release.
