Sharwanand’s Bhogi, directed by Sampath Nandi, was scheduled to hit theatres on November 13, and the makers had also planned a pre-release event as part of the promotions. However, the team has now officially announced that the film's release has been postponed and that a new date will be announced soon. The development comes after the CBFC referred the film to its revising committee instead of issuing a clearance certificate.
Produced by KK Radhamohan under the Sri Sathya Sai Arts banner and presented by Lakshmi Radhamohan, the film's trailer was also scheduled to be unveiled on Saturday. However, following the latest development, the makers have put their promotional plans on hold. A source says the team will take a call on the next course of action once the film receives CBFC clearance.
Bhogi is a period action drama set in the early 1960s along the Maharashtra-Adilabad border. The film promises to present an immersive rural world shaped by its traditions, relationships and social dynamics. The teaser, released earlier, generated considerable interest, while the makers have also unveiled a couple of songs as part of the promotional campaign.
Bheems Ceciroleo has composed the music, and both songs released so far have received a good response. Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi play the female leads. Sharwanand has undergone a complete makeover for the film and will be seen in a rustic avatar.
On the technical front, Kishor Kumar handles the cinematography, Chandrabose has penned the lyrics, and Kiran Kumar Manne is the art director. Dilip Subbarayan is the action choreographer, while Bheems Ceciroleo is the music director.
