The countdown is on for 45, the pan-India multistarrer featuring Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty. Produced by Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner, the film marks Arjun Janya’s directorial debut. It is set for a worldwide release on December 25. But before the Christmas premiere, fans can expect something truly unique.
“The trailer launch will take place in seven districts at the same time. This is a first in Indian cinema and will be held at Kempegowda Maidan near Vidyapeetha, Bengaluru. But that’s just the start,” said Arjun Janya. “With Cube technology, the trailer will stream live to theatres in Mysuru, Mangaluru, Tumakuru, Davanagere, Shivamogga, Hospet, and Hubballi. Fans in each location will experience the event together.”
He added, “After the trailer, our three heroes—Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty—will speak directly to fans in all seven districts.”
Producer Ramesh Reddy expressed his pride in the project, and said, “We are celebrating India’s culture with 45. The trailer launch on December 15 will be one of a kind. Fans across Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Tumakuru, Davanagere, Shivamogga, Hospet, and Hubballi will take part in something truly special.”
Talking about the trailer, Ramesh said, “The trailer captures the energy and ambition we've invested in the film.” The film, which has been shot in multiple languages, has cinematography by Satya Hegde and dialogues by Anil Kumar.
Meanwhile, the promotional song AFRO Tapang, featuring Ugandan Ghetto Kids dancing with Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty, has already become a hit. “It brings a global touch to the film,” Reddy noted.
With the trailer launch showing signs of turning into a complete cinematic event, the stage is set for the grand release of the film on December 25.
