Production[]

In October 2017, Harsha announced "Raana" with Yash amidst much fanfare.[6] But Yash was not too happy with the script that Harsha had presented to him. Sources add that when Harsha presented the actor with the complete script, he wasn't too happy and had reportedly told the director to fine-tune it to meet his approval standards. Further, with the director's track record not being up to scratch, Yash's well-wishers reportedly advised him to put Raana in cold storage for the time being.[7] Harsha replaced Yash with Shivrajkumar in the movie[8][9] and eventually, renamed the movie as "Bhajarangi 2"

Release[]

The film was initially slated to release on 10 September but was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.[10] Then it was scheduled to be released on 29 October 2021, but again got cancelled due to the death of Shiva Rajkumar's brother Puneeth.[11]

Reception[]

NewsMinute headlined their review as "While Shiva Rajkumar has given it his all as usual, the film lacks logic and is let down by its one-dimensional characters."[12]

As per Deccan Herald, "The narrative technique in the flashback is likely to confuse the audience. The director appears to have lost control over the plot throughout the first half. Several scenes delay the story from taking off. In the second half, the pace falters."[13]

Music[]

Arjun Janya composed the music for the film.[1]
