The Kaiva pre-release event was a star-studded affair, attended by celebrated actors such as Darshan, Asha Bhat, Abishek Ambareesh, and Chikkanna. Darshan launched the trailer amidst much fanfare.

While he extended the wishes to the team, the Challenging Star urged the crowd, who had gathered in huge numbers, to support Kannada cinema. He also advised against wasting milk on cutouts, proposing it be given to dogs instead.  

The film, starring Dhanveerrah and Megha Shetty, marks the director’s mass-genre debut rooted in Tigalarapete’s reality. Both actors expressed their enthusiasm about being part of the film.  

Jayathirtha mentioned the film’s collaboration with five directors, who have faced the camera for his film will be a unique experience for the audience.

The ensemble cast includes Dhanveerrah, Megha Shetty, Jahnavi Rayal, Ashwin Hassan, Dinakar Thoogudeepa, Giriraj, Raghu Shivamogga, Nandagopal, and Ugram Manju.

Notably, Dhanveerrah, an ardent Darshan fan, presented him with a Punganur calf, affectionately named ‘Shok Dhar’ by Darshan at the event.
