Arts & Culture, Film & TV

All eyes are currently on Roaring Star Sriimurali’s Bagheera, which is the big Deepavali release from Kananda cinema, but equally keenly expected is a film coming out only 2 weeks later – Bhairathi Ranagal. The Shivarajkumar-led film is the much-awaited prequel to his 2017 film Mufti and delves into the circumstances that made him the feared, and revered, crime boss Bhairathi Ranagal of Ronapura.
Shivarajkumar’s Bhairathi RanagalNot much is known about the plot of Bhairathi Ranagal, but leaked images from the set had hinted at his pre-crime boss days as an officer of the court – an advocate – which was later affirmed in an official poster of the film. But what would push such a man to then take the law in his hands? That is what the film will delve into. The team has so far only revealed a teaser and the title track and the next big update, we hear, is the trailer.According to the buzz in industry circles, the trailer of Bhairathi Ranagal will be a Kannada Rajyotsava presentation on November 1st. An announcement for the exact time is expected shortly. The film pairs Shivarajkumar with Rukmini Vasanth, and brings Rahul Bose to Kannada cinema as the antagonist. Also on the cast are Shabeer Kallarakkal, Vasishta N Simha, Madhu Guruswamy and Devaraj. Sriimurali is rumoured to have a cameo, as the film was initially announced as a prequel and sequel to the events of Mufti.
Shivarajkumar in a still from MuftiAs team Bhairathi Ranagal begins promotional activities, one news that came from the camp is that leading man Shivarajkumar is currently battling an undisclosed ailment. The actor admitted the same during a recent TV interview and added that he is currently seeking treatment for the same. His commitment as judge on Dance Karnataka Dance continue, as also the promotions of Bhairathi Ranagal, but all new work has been pushed ahead to sometime in February-March 2025, once he returns from the US, where he will have surgery.
