Mangaluru, Jun 20: The highly anticipated Tulu movie 'Circus,' directed by Roopesh Shetty, is set to hit screens on Friday, June 23.
'Circus' marks Roopesh Shetty's second directorial venture, following his success as the winner of Bigg Boss Kannada OTT Season 1 and Bigg Boss Kannada Season 9. Shetty's previous directorial venture, the blockbuster Tulu movie 'Girgit,' received tremendous acclaim.
The premiere of 'Circus' saw 12 shows being screened in Mangaluru on June 18th, and a total of 51 premiere shows were held worldwide, receiving a positive response from the audience.
The movie premiered in various Indian theaters, including Pune and Manipal, as well as global theaters in Dubai, UAE, Australia, USA, Canada, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Qatar, and Bahrain. In the coming days, the movie will have premieres in the UK, Thailand, Nigeria, Kuwait, Puttur, Mumbai, and Al-Ain (UAE).
Director Roopesh Shetty expressed, "The release of 'Circus' was initially scheduled for November 18, 2022, but was delayed when I participated in Bigg Boss. The 23rd date has always been lucky for me, as 'Girgit' was also released on August 23rd. After the success of 'Girgit,' I delved into the theme of father and son sentiments, shaping the screenplay and dialogues, and revising the script multiple times. The budget reflects the grandeur of the movie. We strategically planned the premiere shows as part of our marketing strategy. The movie will be released in Sydney on the 30th, and we aim to release it in 50 centers, including Muscat, Qatar, and Bengaluru."
Produced by Shoolin Films, Manjunath Attavar, and Mugrody Films, 'Circus' features Roopesh Shetty in the lead role alongside Rachana Rai, Aravind Bolar, Bhojaraj Vamanjoor, Naveen D Padil, Sai Krishna, Umesh Mijar, Prasanna Shetty Bailur, Sandeep Shetty, and Kannada film actor Yash Shetty.
Loy Valentine Saldanha has composed the music, while Prasanna Shetty Bailur, renowned for his work in 'Girgit,' has penned the dialogues. Naveen Shetty serves as the choreographer, Niranjan Das as the cinematographer, and Rahul Vashishta as the editor.
The trailer of 'Circus' was released on June 20 at Alvas College, Moodbidri.
The dubbing, mixing, and mastering of the movie were handled at Daijiworld Audio Visual Pvt Ltd.
Actress Rachana Rai, actor Aravind Bolar, Naveen D Padil, Prasanna Shetty, music director Loy Valentine Saldanha, and others were present at the event.
