There was a lot of excitement generated about Shivarajkumar’s latest film Bhajarangi among the Hattrick Hero’s fans even before its release, so the craze after its release comes as no surprise. Bala Theater in Hospet screened Shivarajkumar’s earlier film
Jogayya at midnight on the day of its release three years back and the same theater has played the first show of
Bhajarangi at 2 am! And this is not the only theater that has cashed in on the craze; Bangalore’s Triveni Theater had a super early show at 7 am.
Although he has had three releases this year —
Lakshmi, Andhar Bahar and
Kaddipudi —
Bhajarangi is Shivarajkmar’s biggest release after
Jogayya. The film is also being screened in a record number of theaters, with over 150 in
Karnataka alone. It was also released simultaneously in Karnataka,
Maharashtra,
Andhra Pradesh and
Tamil Nadu, which is rare in
Sandalwood.
