In 2019, Ponnannaa appeared in Randhawa, an action-thriller, portraying three characters including a namesake as a prince. As Robert, he played a wildlife photographer,[4] and as Raana, a person with an unpleasant past.[7] Reviewing the film for the Times of India, Sunayana Suresh wrote, "Bhuvann Ponnanaa gives it his best, but one wishes he had a better script to showcase the same talent."[8] A. Sharadhaa of the New Indian Express predicted the film to be Ponnannaa's "turning point as a hero", while adding that he "[got] too careful with his character" leaning "heavily on the script and the director".[7] Ponnannaa suffered a neck and back injury while filming a stunt sequence for the film.[9] Bhuvann Ponnannaa's wife Harshika Poonacha is also kannada actress[2]
