Theatre-only release for recreated version of Olavina Udugore

It looks like the wait will only get longer for Kannada audiences who are eagerly waiting to watch the recreated version of the popular Ambareesh track, Olavina Udugore, in his son Abhishek's Amar.

Due to copyright issues, the makers have been instructed not to promote the song on social media or digital platforms. This song, featuring the lead pair Abhishek and Tanya Hope, will only be played in theatres. 

Director Nagashekar who was planning to release the songs (scored by Arjun Janya) in the next 10 days, wanted to go ahead with releasing Olavina Udugore. However, abiding by the rules, the makers have decided to drop this particular track and will start promoting the film’s audio with the four other songs.

Amar marks the debut of Abhishek, and is one of the most anticipated films of 2019. The romantic drama, set against a racing backdrop, is now in the post-production phase and will be presented to the censor board soon. Made under Sandesh productions, the film is likely to hit theatres sometime towards the end of April or during the first week of May.

With Darshan playing a pivotal role, Amar also features Devaraj, Sadhu Kokila, Chikkanna in the cast. This will be Tanya Hope’s second outing after her debut in the recently-released Yajamana.
