Raj B Shetty choosing quality content as always. After Garuda Gamana and Bandar, this looks like another winner. Kannada cinema is truly evolving! 🙌
The skulls and blood in the promo give me goosebumps! Hope they do justice to Tejaswi's masterpiece. Waiting eagerly for this one.
Interesting choice adapting a literary work. While I appreciate the effort, I hope they don't dilute the novel's essence for commercial appeal. Fingers crossed!
Raj B Shetty is on fire! Bandar was brilliant and now Jugari Cross. Kannada industry needs more actors like him who choose meaningful projects.
As someone who grew up reading Tejaswi's works, I'm both excited and nervous. Hope Gurudatha Ganiga captures the raw essence of the novel. All the best to the team! 🤞
