Sharwanand’s upcoming period action drama ‘Bhogi’, which was originally scheduled for a theatrical release on November 13, has been postponed following an unexpected development during the censor certification process.
The production team officially announced that the film would not arrive on its previously planned date. A fresh release date will be communicated once the necessary formalities are completed.
The postponement comes after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) referred the film to its revising committee instead of granting the required clearance.
The development has also affected the film’s promotional schedule. The makers had planned a pre-release event and were preparing to unveil the trailer on Saturday. However, both promotional activities have now been put on hold.
Produced by KK Radhamohan under the Sri Sathya Sai Arts banner and presented by Lakshmi Radhamohan, the film’s team is reportedly waiting for clarity on the certification process before deciding its next move.
Set in the early 1960s, ‘Bhogi’ unfolds along the Maharashtra-Adilabad border and explores the lives of people in a rural setting. The film is expected to recreate the period through its depiction of local customs, social relationships and village traditions.
The project has already generated interest through its teaser, which showcased Sharwanand in a dramatically different appearance. The actor has undergone a significant physical and stylistic transformation to portray a rugged character suited to the film’s setting.
Anupama Parameswaran and Dimple Hayathi play the female leads, adding to the film’s ensemble cast.
Music composer Bheems Ceciroleo has provided the soundtrack, with two songs released so far receiving encouraging responses from listeners.
With the original release plan disrupted by the certification process, audiences will now have to wait for the makers to announce a revised date for Sharwanand’s ‘Bhogi’.
