Raj B Shetty, Prajwal Devaraj starrer Karavali trailer out
Bengaluru, July 7
The trailer of Raj B Shetty and Prajwal Devaraj starrer Karavali has been unveiled by the makers on Tuesday, which is written and directed by Gurudatha Ganiga.
The three-minute and eighteen-second trailer offers a glimpse into the Kambala, an annual buffalo race event, at the heart of its visual narrative. Prajwal Devaraj appears to excel at the buffalo race as the story skips to 30 years in the future, where Raj B Shetty participates in the same competition.
Along with its striking visuals and action-packed sequences, the trailer teases an emotional conflict while keeping much of the plot under wraps.
The movie also stars Sampada, Mitra, Ramesh Indira, Sushmita Bhat, Sridhar KS, Govinde Gowda and Niranjan in the prominent roles.
Raj B Shetty shared the trailer on his Instagram handle on Tuesday. The film will be released on July 24.
Karavali is presented by KVN Productions and produced by Gurudatha Ganiga Films, with VK Films and Suram Movies serving as co-producers.
Raj B Shetty was earlier seen in the film 'Bandar', which also starred Bobby Deol in the lead role. It was also screened at the Toronto International Film Festival 2025. Bandar is directed by Anurag Kashyap for Nikhil Dwivedi under his banner Saffron Magicworks. Apart from Bobby, the film also stars Sanya Malhotra in the lead role.

Interesting to see a Indian film focusing on buffalo racing—never heard of Kambala before. The visuals look stunning, and the time jump from 30 years ago to now is an intriguing storytelling device. I might check it out when it comes to streaming. 🐃
As a Kannadiga, this makes me proud! Karavali region has so many stories to tell, and Gurudatha Ganiga seems to have captured it authentically. But the trailer is a bit too heavy on action—hope there's more depth to the characters. Still, July 24 can't come soon enough! 🔥
Nice to see regional Indian cinema getting more attention internationally. Raj B Shetty's Bandar at TIFF was a big deal, and now this. The trailer gives me 'Kantara' vibes, which is a good thing. Just hope the plot doesn't get too predictable.
The visuals are breathtaking, and the music in the trailer is top-notch! But I wish they'd shown more of Sampada's role—female characters often get sidelined in such films. Still, rooting for this one to do well at the box office. 🎬
Okay, I'm excited! Prajwal Devaraj and Raj B Shetty together is like a dream team for Kannada cinema. The trailer is crisp but doesn't reveal too much, which is smart. My only worry is that Kambala might be portrayed as just a spectacle—hope they respect the cultural significance.
