Actor turned politician Ambarish is all set to release the songs of Puneeth Rajakumar starrer 'Chakravyuha'. The audio release is held at Jnana Jyothi Auditorium on 17th March at 6 PM.

Well known Telugu music director S S Thaman has composed the songs for 'Chakravyuha' and Ambarish will be releasing the album, while the CDs will be received by Energy Minister D K Shivakumar, Food and Civil Supplies Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao, Ex-minister M Raghupathi and others.

'Chakravyuha' is being produced by Lohith (grandson of B Raghupathi) and is being directed by Sharavanan who had earlier directed 'Engeyum Eppodum'. Sharavanan himself has written the story and screenplay for the film.

Puneeth Rajakumar's new film to be directed by Sharavanan of 'Engeyum Eppodum' fame is no new news. Now actress Rachita Ram has been roped in as the heroine of the film. Earlier there were rumours that a Punjabi model has been selected as the heroine. But the news has turned out to be false and Rachita has been selected as the heroine of the film officially.

Rachita was supposed to act in 'Ranavikrama' opposite Puneeth earlier. However she backed out due to various reasons. Now Rachita has finally been successful in acting with Puneeth in 'Chakravyuha'.

Puneeth's much awaited film Chakravyuha is delayed. It was believed that the film will release in the fourth week of March on 24th. The film will be delayed by 2-3 weeks at least sources close to the film say. 

So the release plans have been delayed. Now the audio launch of the film is being scheduled for March 17th. The film will be ready by April 8th during the Ugadi festival sources said. 

The first look of Puneeth's new film Chakravyuha was released this week to rave reviews and euphoria by his fans. The film has been in the news for among other reasons that it is the 25th film of Puneeth in which he is playing lead since Appu. This is a landmark film in numbers if the films of his as a child actor are discounted.

But it is now turning out that Chakravyuha may not be his 25th film after all. Though it is still technically the 25th, shooting of this film is expected to be completed before that of his 24th film Dodmane Hudga being directed by Duniya Suri.

Though the first look of Chakravyuha was released only this week, sources say that 90 per cent of the shooting for the film is complete. On the other hand there is trouble for Dodmane Hudga. Veteran director and actor KSL Swamy (Ravee) who died recently was playing a major role in the film. Much of his portions were shot and a few scenes in combination with Ambareesh and Puneeth had to be shot. Now with the unfortunate demise of Ravee, it is to be seen how the film team manages his character in the film. This may delay the completion of the film further.

Thus Chakravyuha is likely to release first even before Dodmane Hudga. Thus Dodmane Hudga may turn out to be Puneeth's 25th film.

But the audience will be little confused and should wait till second half to know the names of the lead characters.  

Then second-half opens with the action packed clashes between the hero and the villains. The hero has plotted an unique for idea to seek revenge against minister and his brother in first-half. What he does to defeat these highly influential brothers will create curiosity till the climax.

Abhimanyu Singh and Tamil actor Arun Vijay have made their debut in Kannada films through this film. Rangayana Raghu has played a serious police officer role which is unique in his career. Sadhu Kokila and Bhavya are the other important cast in the movie. 

Popular Tamil and Telugu composer S Thaman has composed the songs for this movie. They are quite okay. Puneeth Rajkumar has given his best performance in the movie by his dance and fights. Rachita Ram has paired up with Puneeth Rajkumar for the first time and they have good chemistry. Fans will definitely watch this movie which is a treat for them. 

Chitraloka Rating - 3.5/5
