Ganga Entertainments, under the artistic wing of Apsar, is thrilled to present Shivam Bhaje, a groundbreaking film that defies genre boundaries and promises to captivate audiences worldwide with its multifaceted elements. Starring the dynamic duo of Ashwin Babu and Digangana Suryavanshi, the movie is set to make a grand entrance on the global stage on August 1st.

The Release Date Coincidence

Producer Maheshwar Reddy Mooli, a key figure in the film's production, recently opened up about the release strategy. According to him, the choice of August 1st wasn't due to it being the birthday of the lead actor, Ashwin Babu, but rather a strategic decision based on market readiness. It was a pleasant surprise when it aligned with Babu's birthday, but the release was not planned as a birthday special.

The Story's Allure

Mooli recounted how he was immediately hooked by the story of *Shivam Bhaje* the moment he heard it. The narrative's depth and intricacies, along with its potential to resonate with a broad audience, compelled him to greenlight the project with an advance payment. Ashwin Babu's quick approval, given in a mere five minutes, further accelerated the production timeline.

A Genre-Bending Narrative

The film's plot is carefully woven from the threads of five distinct genres, making it a unique and unpredictable cinematic experience. It's a tale that cannot be confined to a single genre, offering a rich tapestry of emotions, suspense, action, and drama. Mooli emphasizes that while he cannot disclose the full story or its twists, the audience can expect to be thoroughly engaged and impressed.

Production Insights

As an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, Mooli felt a special connection to the story, which he believes is perfectly timed for release. The decision to act as a distributor was pivotal in fixing the release date amidst a lineup of big-budget movies. A slightly higher budget was allocated to ensure the film's quality and content surpassed expectations. The hero of the film also takes on the role of the music director, a decision inspired by his performance in *Hidimba*. The result? A soundtrack that perfectly complements the movie's diverse narrative.

Future Ventures and Plans

Hyderabad's Role

Most of the film's scenes were shot in the bustling city of Hyderabad, which plays a significant role in the narrative. Victory Venkatesh's appreciation for the trailer, which has been the only glimpse of the film shared so far, highlights the film's potential to capture the hearts of viewers. The good rapport between Ashwin and Venkatesh, fostered through their shared love for cricket, adds a personal touch to the project.

Mooli is currently planning a film in collaboration with the IIT Krishnamurthy team and another project featuring Karthikeya. If *Shivam Bhaje* meets commercial success, a Tamil remake is in the works, with the Hindi dubbing rights already sold. The film's potential for a sequel is also being considered, depending on its reception.

A Cinematic Journey Awaits

As anticipation builds for Shivam Bhaje, Maheshwar Reddy Mooli and the team at Ganga Entertainments invite audiences to watch the movie and embark on a cinematic journey that transcends genres. With a captivating story, stellar performances, and a rich soundtrack, Shivam Bhaje promises an unforgettable experience.
