Bairagee on OTT: THIS is when you can watch Shiva Rajkumar’s Vijay Milton film

Kannada cinema’s Century Star Shiva Rajkumar’s 123rdfilm was Tamil filmmaker Vijay Milton’s Sandalwood directorial debut, Bairagee, which released in theatres on July 1. At the time, it was announced that the satellite and digital rights of the film had been sold to Colors Kannada and Voot Select respectively, although telecast and streaming dates were not revealed.

Voot Select has now announced the streaming date for Bairagee. The film, which also stars Dhananjaya, Pruthvi Ambaar, Shashikumar, Anjali and Yasha Shivakumar, among others, will be available on the streaming platform from August 19.

Bairagee, produced by Krishna Sarthak, was Shiva Rajkumar’s first theatrical release this year and was seen as an early birthday present for the actor, who turned 60 on July 12. For the longest time, it was reported that Bairagee was the Kannada remake of the Tamil film Asuran, but eventually, it turned out to be the local version of Vijay’s 2017 movie, Kadugu.

Bairagee had music by Anoop Seelin, who had planned one song with Shiva Rajkumar and his brother Puneeth Rajkumar. The recording had been set for November 5 last year. Unfortunately, Puneeth passed only days prior to that at the end of October, on the day of the release of Shiva Rajkumar’s Bhajarangi 2.

Since Bairagee, Shiva Rajkumar has been busy with a bunch of projects. His next, Nee Sigoovaregu is ready and the 125th film, Vedha is also almost done. Vedha, which is his fourth film with choreographer-director A Harsha, is Shiva Rajkumar’s first home production. He is also committed to Arjun Janya’s directorial debut 45, Yogaraj Bhat’s Kuladalli Keelayavadu, MG Srinivas’ Ghost, Lohith H’s Sathyamangala, untitled projects with Avane Srimannarayana maker Sachin B Ravi and Rishab Shetty. The Hattrick Hero is also set to head to Tamil cinema with a pivotal role in Rajinikanth’s next, Jailer.
