The new poster of Puneeth Rajkumar’s Yuvarathnaa, released today for New Year's Day, has set off fresh excitement among fans of the Power Star. Director Santhosh Ananddram unveiled the look on Twitter.

Besides Puneeth, the other attraction of the poster is a skeleton that hangs behind the actor. The poster is reminiscent of the popular series, Vikram Aur Betaal. However, Cinema Express has learned that this particular look goes with Puneeth Rajkumar’s character of a college student in the film.

Yuvarathnaa will have Puneeth collaborating with Hombale Films for the third time, while this is the second combination coming from the actor-director duo, who had previously delivered the blockbuster hit, Raajakumara.

Santhosh has brought together an interesting star cast, including Sayyeshaa, who is making her Kannada debut. The film also features Dhananjay, senior actor Prakash Raj, Diganth, Sonu Gowda, and Triveni in pivotal roles.

Yuvarathnaa has music scored by S Thaman, and cinematography by Venkatesh Anguraj. It is likely to be a summer release.
