Aniissh’s Ramarjuna to hit screens on January 29

The year 2021 is slowly opening doors to entertainment, and Aniissh’s Ramarjuna will be the first Kannada commercial entertainer to hit screens this year. Aniissh is happy that some of the leading names of the industry are extending support to him for his directorial debut. Apart from starring as the lead, Aniish has also taken up production responsibilities in Ramarjuna. 

While Rakshit Shetty recently hopped on board as the co-producer and will be presenting the film to cinema halls, another announcement came from producer-distributor Karthik Gowda, who will be distributing the film under his banner, KRG Studios. The distributor announced this on Twitter, adding that the film will be out on January 29.

Aniissh is excited and happy that both Rakshit and Karthik watched the film, and are confident about the product. “They then decided to come on board, which is the reason Ramarjuna is getting a theatrical release,” says Aniissh, who is fine with the film getting released when only 50 per cent occupancy is allowed in theatres. “The Tamil film industry has shown that theatre releases are possible in this situation with Master, and so did the Telugu industry with the recently released Krack and Red. Even in the case of the Kannada movie industry, it is a matter of survival, and this is our bread and butter. So we have to take this initiative,” adds Aniissh.

Meanwhile, the actor-director is busy with last-minute post-production work. He will be releasing the film’s trailer on January 23.

Ramarjuna is produced under the banner of Winkwhistle Productions. It has music by Anand Rajavikram, while dialogues have been written by Shankar Rama and Kiran Chandra. Action stunts are by Vikram Mor, while Naveen Kumar S is the cinematographer.

The cast also comprises Rangayana Raghu, Sharath Lohithaswha, Hanumantha Goru, Arjuna Balaraj, Rajubhalvadi, Swathi and Manju Pavagada.
