Career

Sarja, once when he was young, was watching a movie with his uncle Arjun Sarja and told him that he wanted to become a film hero. Arjun Sarja replied, saying that before becoming a hero, you should be a good actor and suggested that he take training classes. Dhruva took the classes and was prepared for acting. When he heard about an audition call for a lead role in A. P. Arjun's new movie, he attended the audition and got selected. Until he was selected, he didn't reveal that he is a nephew of Arjun Sarja. Dhruva debuted in films with the 2012 blockbuster film Addhuri. His portrayal of Arjun as the male lead, opposite Radhika Pandit, received praise from critics.[1] He signed for his next film Bahaddur with his close friend Chethan Kumar in 2013, starring again opposite Pandit. The film became commercially successful[2][3] and in April 2015 he signed for Bharjari which was released in September 2017, becoming a blockbuster and giving hat-trick success to Dhruva Sarja.[4] His next film has been tilted Pogaru.
