In disappointment for Shiva Rajkumar’s fans, the star’s Ayushman Bhava will not be hitting the marquee on Friday, November 1 as planned. The filmmakers tried hard to ensure that the film would release on Kannada Rajyotsava day but it could not happen due to delay in censor certification. The new release date set for Ayushman Bhava is November 15 and all efforts are being undertaken to make sure that the deadline is met.
Veteran actors Prabhu and Suhasini Maniratnam play pivotal roles in this flick, which is a P Vasu directorial. It may be noted here that P Vasu and Shiva Rajkumar are collaborating for the second time, with their first outing Shivalinga being a big hit. Rachita Ram is playing Shiva Rajkumar’s heroine and Nidhi Subbiah will be seen in an important role. The star cast also includes Ananth Nag, Sadhu Kokila and Rangayana Raghu in supporting roles. The technical crew of Ayushman Bhava includes Guru Kiran for music, Gautham Raju for editing and PKH Doss for cinematography. The film is bankrolled by BS Dwarakish and Yogish Dwarakish Bunggale under the banner Dwarakish Chitra.
There is a buzz that Ayushman Bhava belongs to the horror genre. This news certainly has film buffs and Shiva Rajkumar fans excited and waiting in anticipation for the film.
Shiva Rajkumar currently has a slew of films such as SRK, Bhajarangi 2 and Drona in different stages of production. It may be noted here that Shiva Rajkumar and director A Harsha are teaming up for the third time for Bhajarangi 2. On choosing the title, the director had reportedly said that it will have no connection with Bhajarangi but he chose it because his team liked the name. So, from what we gather, Bhajarangi 2 will be a completely different story. The film will have Bhavana sharing screen space with Shiva Rajkumar.
