Kannada actor Shivarajkumar’s Mumbai trip this week has been nothing short of exciting. The prospect of promoting his upcoming release Ghost apart, the Century Star ran into a personal favourite and idol, veteran actor Kamal Haasan, and then also ran into Salman Khan. Both of these chance meetings, of course, called for pictures, which the actor then shared on social media with his fans. Taking to social media with his picture with Salman, Shivarajkumar wrote, “Happy to meet you @beingsalmankhan wishing you the best for #tiger3 #GhostOct19”.
Following this meeting with Salman Khan, Shivarajkumar then headed to the Star Sports Studio in Mumbai, where he enthralled audiences with a spot of Kannada commentary along with Anil Kumble for the ongoing India vs Pakistan World Cup cricket match. Shivarajkumar is expected to return to Bengaluru later tonight, following which he will head to Ballari, where he’s shooting for his next Bhairathi Ranagal, but also has a pre-release event for Ghost lined up. On the 17th the actor will head to Kochi for a pre-release event, and will then be in Mysuru for a Yuva Dasara event.
Ghost is releasing on October 19, with the team having a midnight fan show to kick things off. As of now, distributor Jayanna has ruled out early morning shows, but a final decision will be taken early next week. At the moment, Ghost is looking at close to 350-odd screens in Karnataka, of which a big chunk is single-screens. The film will release in Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam too on the 19th, with the Telugu version arriving a week later on October 27.
Inspired by a real incident that occurred in Chennai some years ago, which director MG Srinivas adapted for the screen with ample cinematic liberties, Ghost is a heist thriller that takes place in a prison. The film also stars Jayaram and Anupam Kher in pivotal roles.
