After
waiting
for
3
long
years,
Dhruva
Sarja's
highly
anticipated
film
Pogaru
will
have
a
massive
theatrical
release
on
February
19,
2021
(Friday).
The
action
thriller
will
hit
the
screens
on
the
occasion
of
Ratha
Saptami.
Dhruva
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
announce
the
arrival
of
the
film.
While
interacting
with
his
fans
on
Instagram
Live,
the
actor
appreciated
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
film
and
thanked
his
fans
for
their
support
and
love.
Notably,
Pogaru
will
become
the
first
big
film
from
the
Kannada
film
industry
to
release
post-COVID-19
lockdown.
Though
the
film
was
earlier
scheduled
to
hit
the
screens
on
March
24,
2020,
the
makers
were
forced
to
postpone
the
release
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
Interestingly,
one
of
the
songs
of
the
film
'Karabbu'
that
released
on
April
2,
2020,
garnered
huge
response
from
the
audience,
and
eventually
created
a
record
of
the
most-viewed
Kannada
song
on
YouTube.
As
of
now,
the
song
featuring
Rashmika
Mandanna
and
Dhruva
Sarja
has
193+
million
views
and
1.3+
million
likes.

directed
by

Kishore,
is
backed
by

The
film
simultaneously
shot
in
Kannada
and
Telugu
will
also
have
a
release
in
Tamil
(dubbed

which
has
been
