Bhairathi Ranagal is expected to clash with Allu Arjun’s highly anticipated Pushpa: The Rule which is also scheduled to hit the theatres on 15th August 2024. Owing to Allu Arjun’s nationwide popularity and Karnataka’s widespread acceptance of films from other languages, it will be quite the Independence Day clash indeed.

Shivarajkumar’s Mufti was released in 2017 and collected record-breaking numbers at the time. The film was a truly unique attempt in Kannada cinema and was lauded for its creative touch to mass commercial cinema. 

Mufti featured Shivarajkumar as Bhairathi Ranagal, a ruthless crime lord. The film stood out for its audacious idea of showing its superstar only in the second half of the film. 

Post the release of Mufti, Bhairathi Ranagal became a phenomenon among the Kannada audience and fans demanded a standalone film based on the character of Bhairathi Ranagal. Seven years later, Shivarajkumar is back once again as Bhairathi Ranagal.

Shivarajkumar’s upcoming projects

Apart from Bhairathi Ranagal, Shivarajkumar will be seen playing a crucial role in Ram Charan’s RC16, written and directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The actor is also expected to play a returning role in R Chandru’s Kabzaa sequel, titled Kabzaa 2.
