Bhairathi Ranagal teaser: Shiva Rajkumar looks fierce as the titular character

The second teaser of one of the most highly anticipated films in the Kannada Film Industry, Bhairathi Ranagal, was released on October 24, 2024. Kannada cinema veteran Shiva Rajkumar plays the titular character and looks fierce in the teaser. Directed by Narthan, Bhairathi Ranagal is a prequel to the 2017 film Mufti, which starred Shiva Rajkumar and Srii Murali in the lead roles. The teaser feels like just a warm-up for what’s to come, with the film scheduled for release on November 15, 2024.
While the first teaser, released on Shiva Rajkumar’s birthday on July 12, 2024, focused more on the mass appeal of the superstar and the world built around the character, this teaser sheds light on other characters as well. Some familiar faces from Mufti and new ones get their screen time, as Ravi Basrur’s music builds intensity toward the final crescendo. Rukmini Vasanth, Rahul Bose, Madhu Guruswamy, and others can be seen alongside Shiva Rajkumar.

Seeing Bhairathi Ranagal in a lawyer’s coat, a detail hinted at in Mufti, is intriguing. The visuals suggest two distinct worlds — one belonging to Ranagal and the other potentially to the character played by Rahul Bose. The collision of these worlds promises to be a key aspect of the film, as highlighted in the teaser.

The anticipation for the film is building each day, with fans and public growing excited. Bhairathi Ranagal is produced by Shiva Rajkumar’s wife, Geetha Shivarajkumar, under the banner of Geetha Pictures. Despite several delays, the team has confirmed that the film is locked in for a November 15 release, where it will clash with Suriya’s Kanguva.
