Vishnuvardhana is a 2011 Indian Kannada language action thriller film directed by Pon Kumaran in his directorial debut and produced by Dwarakish.

The film was officially remade in Bengali in 2014 as Bachchan and was reported to have been inspired by the 2009 Korean movie Handphone.

[2] Vishnuvardhana, the son of laundry owner Puttayya, is a big fan of Dr. Vishnuvardhan and spends time with his astrologer friend Nimbehannu aka Shastri.

Adishesha intervenes, allowing the henchmen to leave and demands the identity of the person, but he lies to him that he left and withdrew the complaint.

When Adishesha leaves, his Blackberry phone accidentally drops from his pocket and Vishnu retrieves it.

Seizing the opportunity, Vishnu calls them to a nightclub where he gets the money and safely puts it in a bike locker.

Meanwhile, Dr. Suryaprakash gives a contract to kill Vishnu as he ruined his meeting with Bharathi by pretending to be a doctor, to which he agrees.

The ACP have sex with Meera, which is secretly recorded by Adishesha (as shown after the beginning of the film).

After Adishesha and the ACP leave, Vishnu calls Meera and tells her to escape from the house.

[13] B S Srivani from Deccan Herald wrote "Sudeep though enjoys his role without any hang-ups - perhaps after S Narayan’s ‘Veera Parampare’.

[14] A critic from Bangalore Mirror wrote  "The title song may qualify with repeated hearings.

With excellent dialogue delivery and expressive body language, Kitcha walks away with full honours by bringing alive his character.

Not far behind in is director P Kumar who has done an excellent job with lively narration and screenplay that keeps you entertained from beginning to end".

[16] The movie was remade in Bengali as Bachchan starring Jeet, Aindrita Ray, Payel Sarkar, and Mukul Dev in lead roles.
