While recent debates about piracy and industry conflicts have dominated headlines, the stars of "45" have chosen a different path: silent, focused momentum toward the silver screen. The message from the team is clear—let the "war" happen on the charts, not in the headlines.
The Premiere Craze: Bengaluru Goes Housefull
In a bold move that demonstrates immense confidence in the content, the makers organized 30 paid premiere shows across Bengaluru on the night of December 24, 2024.
- The Result: Every single premiere show in the city has been reported as Sold Out.
- Global Demand: The hype isn't limited to Karnataka; international premieres in countries like Canada were sold out days in advance, proving the "Pan-India" appeal of the cast.
Normal Ticket Pricing, Extraordinary Hype
Despite being a big-budget canvas film directed by the celebrated music composer Arjun Janya, the team has kept the audience's pocket in mind.
- Ticket Prices: Most single screens and multiplexes are offering tickets in the range of ₹200 to ₹250.
- Fast-Filling Shows: Beyond the premieres, the regular shows starting December 25 are seeing "Fast Filling" status across the state, with fans eager to see the three legends share the screen for the first time.
Why '45' is the Talk of the Town
The film marks a significant milestone in Kannada cinema for several reasons:
- The Trinity of Stars: Bringing together the grace of Shivarajkumar, the creative genius of Upendra, and the raw intensity of Raj B. Shetty is a dream come true for fans.
- Arjun Janya’s Vision: Known for his chart-busting music, Janya makes his directorial debut with this philosophical action thriller.
- High Production Value: Produced by Ramesh Reddy under Suraj Production, the film boasts top-tier technical quality, with Satya Hegde handling cinematography.
