Cast * Prajwal Devaraj * Manasa Himavarsha * Ananth Nag * Avinash * Tabla Nani * Pannaga Bharana * Sadhu Kokila Soundtrack Reception Critical response The Hindu wrote "Ananth Nag plays the role of an ancestral priest featuring predominantly in a cameo song at the beginning of the film.

''The Times of India'' scored the film at 2 out of 5 stars and says "Ananth Nag and Avinash have limited roles and do justice to what's offered to them. What is commendable in ...
