Mumbai: Mahaveer Jain Films is set to present an ambitious Kannada sci-fi social thriller titled Lambodhara 2.0, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned. The film, directed by acclaimed Kannada filmmaker Simple Suni, will release in cinemas on November 20, 2026, in Kannada and Hindi. Its first look will be unveiled on Wednesday, October 14.
A humanoid robot in the cast
The film stars Kunal Kapoor, Saachi Bindra, and debutant Anil Shetty. One of its most intriguing aspects is a real humanoid robot named JIA, which features as part of the project.
Set in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence and digital validation, the film poses an unusual question at its core: can technology truly make human beings happy? Blending suspense, humour, entertainment, and thought-provoking ideas, it explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, human emotions, happiness, and free will.
Mahaveer Jain's growing slate
Jain has been backing projects across genres. Along with Rajshri Productions, he is also producing Yeh Prem Mol Liya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya and starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. He has announced RamBola, to be directed by Vishal Chaturvedi of Hanuman Ansh fame, while Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan, is scheduled to release in cinemas on February 12, 2027. A few weeks ago, Bollywood Hungama had exclusively reported that Jain is producing a devotional drama fronted by Ravi Kishan.
