R Chandru’s Kanaka is releasing on 26th Jan, 2018, to coincide with the martyrdom of Sangolli Rayanna. Lead actor Duniya Vijay’s character in the film is a fan of the Late icon Rajkumar. Theatres screening the film will therefore have cutouts of Rajkumar as well.

The event is scheduled for 23rd Jan, 2018, two days before the film’s release when the cutout will be put up. “It will be a befitting celebration of Rajkumar. It is our way of showing love for Rajkumar,” he averred. Fans at the event will be served biryani, Chandru adds. Chandru says that the film is inspired from an auto driver who in real life was a fan of Rajkumar and tried to live by his ideals. After listening to his story on an auto ride, Chandru wrote the story of the film based on it.
