When some of today's films are really finding it difficult to get statellite rights, this particular film even after 20 years is generating a lot of interest among the cinegoers. The film released in 1995, portrayed the Bengaluru underworld through which Shivarajkumar became an action hero.

Yes. This movie is all time classic in Kannada films. Hence producer was re-releasing the movie every now and then. Recently also it was released across 150 theatres with Dolby Digital Sound.

Finally, they have decided to give satellite rights and Udaya TV seems to have bagged it
