Great news for all Vishnuvardhan and Puttana Kanagal fans. “Naagarahaavu”, considered to be one of the classics ever made in Sandalwood, is all set for a re-released with 7.1 surround sound. The film which released in the early 70’s was produced by N Veeraswamy, father of popular actor Ravichandran. The re-release work is being looked after by Balaji, brother of Ravichandran.
This film by legendary director Puttanna Kanagal, originally released in 35 mm, will be presented in Cinemascope. The cinema viewing experience will be a visual treat in full screen with 7.1 surround sound. Balaji did not make a big name with his acting career. He is now trying to get back into the film industry with this film. He was inspired by the successful re-release of Dr Rajkumar classic “Kasturi Nivasa”.
The production house joined hands with various companies, taking close to one-and-a-half years to bring out a cinemascope. A lot of work took place across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai during the restoration period. DI was done in Mumbai while the score was retouched by music director Gowtham Srivatsa. The date of release and details will be announced soon.
