Yogaraj Bhat Visits Shri Siddaroodha Swami Matha To Promote Karataka Damanaka

A celebrated filmmaker in the Kannada film industry, Yogaraj Bhat, recently visited the Shri Siddaroodha Swami Matha in Hubballi, Karnataka. According to reports, the director’s purpose for visiting the temple was to promote his upcoming film.

Titled Karataka Damanaka, Yogaraj Bhat’s next venture stars Shiva Rajkumar and Prabhu Deva in lead roles. The director garnered attention for his unique promotional approach at the Shri Siddaroodha Swami Matha.

Rather than entering the place of worship, upon his arrival, Bhat proceeded directly to the area where auto rickshaws were parked and met with the drivers. Together, they devised a plan to promote the film by affixing its official poster to the back of their autos.

Reports suggest that amidst the hustle of coordinating promotional activities, Bhat inadvertently neglected to enter the temple. This caught the attention of a nearby individual named Shivanand Muthanna, an ardent fan of Shiva Rajkumar. Taking note of the situation, Muthanna escorted Yogaraj Bhat and the film’s actress, Nishvika Naidu, inside the temple.

Subsequently, the director and his team departed from the location around 6 PM to continue their promotional activities at a college in Dharwad.

The teaser for Karataka Damanaka was recently released on the official YouTube channel of Rockline Entertainment. Promising a blend of humour and action, the clip showcases Shiva Rajkumar and Prabhu Deva in the roles of Karataka and Damanaka, respectively. Their on-screen banter hints at an entertaining spectacle for audiences. Produced by Rockline Venkatesh under the banner of Rockline Entertainments, the film features music by V Harikrishna, cinematography by Santhosh Rai Pathaje and editing by K M Prakash. The teaser debuted on February 27.

Excitement among fans was palpable in the comments section of the teaser. One user expressed, “Going to be a super dhamaka watching Shivanna sir & Prabhu Deva ji," while another fan exclaimed, “This is what we wanted from Bhatru. The movie will be top-notch. Congrats to the team."
