Sharwanand‘s much-anticipated sports action film Biker is set to release in theatres on April 3, 2026, in Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam. Billed as India’s first motocross film, it will screen in premium formats including Dolby Cinema, 4DX, EPIQ, and PCX, making it one of the most ambitious theatrical releases of the summer. The film is directed by Abhilash Kankara and produced by UV Creations.
What Is Biker About?
Biker is a three-generation family drama set against the high-octane world of motocross racing, spanning the 1990s and early 2000s. The story follows a family bound by a shared obsession with motorbikes and competitive racing, tracing how passion, sacrifice, and legacy pass from one generation to the next across decades of the sport.
Director Abhilash Kankara has framed Biker not just as an action spectacle but as an emotional drama rooted in relationships, ambition, and what it means to chase something at all costs. The motocross setting gives the film a visual scale and physicality that Indian cinema has not explored before at this level, with the makers going all-in on practical racing sequences shot for premium large-format screens.
Who Stars in Biker?
Sharwanand plays a dual role in Biker, portraying both a father and a son across the film’s multi-generational timeline. It is one of the more demanding roles of his career, requiring him to inhabit two distinct characters across different eras of the story. Malvika Nair stars as the female lead opposite him.
The supporting cast includes veteran actor Rajasekhar, who plays a character named Bullet Sunil, and Brahmaji and Atul Kulkarni in key roles. Music is composed by Ghibran, with cinematography by J. Yuvraj. The film is produced by Vamsi Krishna Reddy and Pramod Uppalapati under the UV Creations banner, with music distributed by Aditya Music.
What Makes Biker India’s First Motocross Film?
Motocross — off-road motorcycle racing on rugged, obstacle-heavy tracks — has never been the centrepiece of an Indian feature film before Biker. While car racing has been explored in Tamil and Hindi cinema to varying degrees, motocross remains an entirely uncharted space, and the makers have positioned the film around that distinction. The decision to release it in Dolby Cinema, 4DX, EPIQ, and PCX formats is a direct acknowledgment that the film’s racing sequences are built to be experienced in immersive theatrical environments.
Sharwanand himself has described Biker as a landmark project, one that pushed the team into genuinely new creative and technical territory to bring motocross to life authentically on screen.
