ReviewSet in a fictional town called Amaravati, the film has a drama troupe, dacoits, cowboys, a bad cop, lost treasure, and a lot more for viewers to savour.Aravind ShwethaIn future, if somebody chronicles the story of the Kannada film industry, it shall have two parts – one before Avane Srimannarayana and the second after Avane Srimannarayana. Presented in a new genre called the Southern Odd Fiction, the movie raises the bar for Sandalwood in terms of technical standards and filmmaking. If Kgf had set a certain standard for the industry, Asn takes it up by a notch. The unusually lengthy trailer had set the tone for what could be expected. The trailer did get a mixed response as many felt that a bit too much was revealed in it. But, once inside the theatre you get transported to Amaravati – the fictional town where the movie is set – there is no coming back.

SandalwoodThe film will be released in five languages – Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi.Prajwal BhatThree years after the release of the commercial hit Kirik Party, Kannada actor and filmmaker Rakshit Shetty returned to the limelight with the launch of the trailer of his next film - Avane Srimannarayana. The launch of the trailer was held at the Shankar Nag Chitramandira in Bengaluru on Thursday. Speaking at the launch, Rakshit, who is the lead actor in the film, revealed that he had a single scene in mind before writing the film — his grand entry. “We began writing Avane Srimannarayana even before Kirik Party and today, I am happy that we are releasing the film just like how I wanted to make it,” Rakshit says. The idea of a grand entry is in stark contrast to Rakshit’s filmography so far. He has typically portrayed roles almost contrary to mass-appeal constructs.

CinemaThe film is set in a fictional village, with parts of the film shot in arid locales in North Karnataka. Tnm StaffYouTube screenshotRakshit Shetty holds a cult status among followers of Kannada cinema, especially after his 2016 film Kirik Party. The teaser for his next film Avane Srimannarayana was released on Wednesday. The teaser shows a Western-style tavern, in which a swashbuckling Narayana — played by Rakshit — evades attackers and fights back, all while enjoying a meal. It ends with Narayana eventually being outnumbered by gun-wielding men who handcuff him. The film is set in a fictional village and the shooting of the film began earlier this year in March, with parts of the film shot in arid locales in North Karnataka. The big-budget venture marks the directorial debut of Sachin Ravi and also sees Shanvi Srivastava in a lead role with Achyut Kumar and Balaji Manohar also playing pivotal roles. Salman Anand and Chandan Achar, who previously worked with Rakshit in Kirik Party are also part of the cast. Rakshit Shetty and the Seven Odds team of Rishab Shetty, Abhijith Mahesh, Kiran Yakssha, Dhananjay Ranjan, K Kiranraj and Pb Chandrajith wrote the film. They had previously come together to write Kirik Party. With a talented cast on hand, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the film.
