The release date for 45, starring Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty, has been officially confirmed. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on December 25. Previously, it was announced for release on August 15, but it was postponed due to unavoidable reasons.
The primary reason for the delay is the extensive graphics and visual effects (VFX) work. The VFX for 45 is being handled by the renowned Canada-based MARZ studio. Known for working on Oscar-winning Hollywood films, this is MARZ’s first collaboration with a Kannada film, raising expectations for the film’s quality.

This marks Arjun Janya’s directorial debut, and he has also written the story. Initially, after narrating the story to Shivarajkumar, Janya intended to hand it over to another director. However, Shivarajkumar encouraged him, saying, “You have a strong grasp of this story; you should direct it.” This inspired Janya to take on the director’s role.
45 is poised to deliver a unique experience to audiences, with the climax reportedly being particularly distinctive. The film’s technical excellence and multilingual cast have already generated significant anticipation ahead of its release.
