Annavru (2003)

Annavru ('the elder brother') is a 2003 Kannada action drama directed by Om Prakash Rao and led by Ambareesh, the 'Rebel Star' of Kannada cinema, as a powerful and respected man who protects his people and settles disputes with authority. Darshan, then rising as an action hero, plays a younger man whose life becomes linked with his, and Sangeetha plays the heroine. The story mixes family sentiment, loyalty and the fight against villains, giving both stars mass moments. In Hindi it is known as Sabse Bada Guru.
