Kannada actor Ganesh’s musical love story ‘Brinda Vihari’, directed by Srinivasa Raju, will be released worldwide on November 20 instead of the earlier proposed date of October 16, MLA and film producer Samruddhi V. Manjunath announced in Hubballi on Saturday.

The film producer, who, along with the lead actor Ganesh, the director, and others of the cast, was in Hubballi on Saturday to take part in a pre-release event, announced that the decision was taken after due consideration.

He said that at a time when the Kannada film ‘Premada Oorali’, made by newcomers, was doing well at the box office, they did not want to clash with it and affect its theatrical run. At a time when Kannada filmdom was facing a dearth of hits, clashing with its theatrical run would be wrong, he said, adding that the film would continue to do well.
