Darshan case: Filmmakers approach film chamber with ‘D-Gang’, ‘Pattanagere Shed’ and ‘Khaidi No. 6106’ titles

Movies derive inspiration from real life and vice-versa. In what can be called as an aftermath of the arrest of actor Darshan in a murder case, a bunch of filmmakers have approached the Kannada film chamber with titles such as ‘D-Gang’ and ‘Pattanagere Shed’. Now adding to this list is ‘Khaidi No 6106’, the undertrial prisoner number assigned to Darshan, who is currently lodged in Parappana Agrahara Prison. The film chamber, however, has refused to approve the titles citing that the matter is still in court.

Filmmaker Rocky Somli, who had approached the film chamber with D-Gang title, says, “We had zeroed in on this title 2 years ago, and I even have a song composed on similar lines. All this was done way before Darshan was arrested. In fact, it has nothing to do with the ongoing case. After Darshan’s arrest, I saw many news channels running programmes with similar titles, and that is when it struck us to register the title before anybody else does. But the film chamber has refused to approve it. We hope we get the title because it was planned 2 years ago and we have enough proof to show that.”

Khaidi No 6106 craze among Darshan fans


Darshan, who is currently lodged in Parappana Agrahara Prison, has been assigned the undertrial prisoner number 6106. This number has become a ‘battle cry’ of sorts among the actor’s fans. From tattoos to vehicle stickers, Khaidi No 6106 is trending all over social media. With #Dboss #Khaidino6106, fans have been extending their unconditional support to the actor.

A few filmmakers have approached the chamber for the Khaidi No 6106 title as well. But the chamber, however, has refused to entertain or approve such titles, which may seem connected to the case.
