After the success of RangiTaranga, the Bhandari brothers have teamed up again for their next film Rajaratha.
The trailer of the upcoming release Rajaratha created a lot of buzz and movie buffs were waiting eagerly for its release. Early last month, it was announced that this Kannada entertainer would hit the silver screens on January 26th to cash in on the Republic Day weekend.
However, the release was postponed and the fresh release date was announced to be February 16th. With the release date nearing, director Anup Bhandari said that the release has again been postponed and the film would hit the screens only on March 23rd.

As the Telugu version is yet to be censored and there are examinations during first 2 weeks of March, we have decided on this date.” Touted to be a rom-com on the lines of this debut movie RangiTaranga, Rajaratha has the same set of actors who were featured in RangiTaranga.
Interestingly, Tamil star Arya is making his debut in the Kannada film industry with Rajaratha and will be seen in a new get-up. Rajaratha has Nirup Bhandari and Avantika Shetty playing the lead pair with P. Ravishankar in a pivotal role.
