The film, scheduled for release on March 8, has been the talk of the town as fans eagerly await the reunion of these celebrated figures in Sandalwood. Jaggesh and Guruprasad, despite having only collaborated on two films – "Matha" and "Eddelu Manjunatha" – have etched their names in the annals of modern Kannada cinema with these cult classics.

Their cinematic partnership, marked by a decade-long hiatus due to differences, officially rekindled in 2019 with the announcement of "Ranganayaka."

Unfortunately, the onset of the pandemic disrupted the project, causing a two-year delay in its production.

As the shooting f resumed and the pieces fell into place, "Ranganayaka" promises to be a redemption for Guruprasad.

The poultry scientist turned director, known for making waves with his distinctive films, found a special synergy with Jaggesh, and their collaboration became a recipe for success.

For Jaggesh, the collaboration with Guruprasad marked a significant shift in his career trajectory after the two critically acclaimed films.

The anticipation surrounding a new project from this dynamic duo has been akin to a mirage for their ardent fans.

Now, with "Ranganayaka" on the horizon, the excitement is palpable, and fans are rejoicing at the prospect of witnessing their favorite duo back in action.

Behind the scenes, producer AR Vikyat plays a pivotal role in bringing these two cinematic powerhouses together once again. Anoop Seelin, the music maestro behind the soulful tunes of "Eddelu Manjunatha," is set to create magic with the film's soundtrack.

Cinematography by Ashok Samrat Goutham and editing by Umesh further add to the anticipation surrounding this cinematic extravaganza.

"Ranganayaka" not only marks the return of Jaggesh and Guruprasad but also symbolizes a renewed collaboration that holds the promise of regaling audiences once more.
