Circus OTT release date: When and where to watch Roopesh Shetty’s second directorial

Bigg Boss Kannada OTT and Bigg Boss Kannada Season 9 winner Roopesh Shetty’s return to direction, after the superhit Girgit, was Circus, a film he’d finished before being a part of the popular reality show. Although Roopesh has a sizeable fan following in the Kudla belt, he decided to release Circus after the Bigg Boss Kannada stint, which made him even more popular and worked wonders for the film. Like Girgit, Circus too was a runaway hit at the box office, after it released in theatres along the coastal belt.
