Pogaru (transl. Haughtiness) is a 2021 Indian Kannada-language masala film directed by Nanda Kishore and produced by B. K. Gangadhar. The film stars Dhruva Sarja, alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Chikkanna, P. Ravi Shankar, Pavitra Lokesh, Raghavendra Rajkumar, Sampath Raj, Dhananjay, Kai Greene, Morgan Aste and Dharma.
The soundtrack was composed by Chandan Shetty, while the musical score was composed by V. Harikrishna. The cinematography and editing were handled by Vijay Milton and S. Mahesh S respectively. The film was planned to be simultaneously shot in Kannada and Telugu languages, but the idea was dropped and the dubbed versions of Telugu and Tamil languages were released, with the Tamil version titled Semma Thimiru.[5][6][7]
Pogaru was released on 19 February 2021 to mixed reviews from critics and became a commercial success in Kannada version, while the Telugu and Tamil version bombed at the box office.
