Sri Kshetra Adichunchanagiri is a 2012 Indian Kannada-language devotional film directed by Om Sai Prakash starring Ambareesh, Sriimurali, Ramkumar, Shivakumar and Harish Raj.
Production
Director Om Sai Prakash decided to make a devotional and mythological film and consulted Balagangadharanatha Swamiji before working on the film.[1] Murali, whose career was at a low at the time, decided to accept the role of Balagangadharanatha Swamiji as Om Sai Prakash delivered several successful films.[2] To prepare for the role of Balagangadharanatha Swamiji, Murali shaved his head.[3] For months, he ate only vegetarian food, did not drink alcohol and called people as "my child".[2] Forty political leaders play roles in the film.[4] Sundarnath Suvarna of Sri Manjunatha (2001) fame was brought in as the cinematographer after Om Sai Prakash was impressed by his work. A procession for Balagangadharanatha Swamiji from Freedom Park to Palace Grounds was recorded and used for the film.[5]
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Gurukiran.[6] An audio release function was held on 29 January 2012 coinciding with the birthday of Sri Adhichunchanagiri Maha Samsthana Mutt.[7]
All lyrics were composed by Doddarangegowda except where noted.
Release and reception
The film was released on 6 July 2012,[6] and it was screened in theatres until August of the same year.[8]
A critic from Prajavani criticised the film's narration while praising the performance of the actors.[9]
