Siddhartha’s directorial debut Bhairava Geetha, which stars Dhananjay and Irra Mor in the leads, was to release on November 23. Now, it has been pushed to November 30, leading to a box office clash with the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0.

Ram Gopal Varma, the creative head, who has been the pillar of the film, recently announced the revised release date of Bhairava Geetha on Twitter 

When CE contacted RGV he said, “I am of the belief that every film has its own audience. The release of Bhairava Geetha and 2.0 on the same day is the call of producers and distributors. It shows their confidence in the film.”

When we spoke to Dhananjay about this clash, he said, “I don’t know whether Bhairava Geetha can fight against a big film like 2.0. However if we miss this date, we have to wait for at least two more months to release our film. It’s only because of this that we are going ahead with the release. There is no competition.”

Producer Bhaskar of Rashi productions explains that the team took the decision because they didn’t want it to clash with local films. “We don’t want to compete with our local Kannada films. Since 2.0 will not be released in Kannada, we took this decision. Bhairava Geetha will release in Kannada and Telugu on November 30, following which it will be released in Tamil and Malayalam on December 6.”
