Cast

Release

Due to the huge success of the film Jogi in 2005, there has been a tremendous interest generated for Jogayya in 2011.[13][14] Although the film is scheduled to release on August 19, tickets of first three days were issued one week in advance.[15] Within a few hours after initiating booking, all 3 days' tickets were sold out in the BKT region (Bengaluru, Kolar and Tumkur) of Karnataka. Black tickets being sold at exorbitant rates of up to INR3,000 per ticket was reported.[16][17] The movie has started seeing empty halls since the eighth week and has subsequently been replaced.Though the producers made money, the real losers were the theater owners and the distributors.

Soundtrack

The film's music album was released on 19 May 2011.[18] Jogayya has eight songs (including a theme) composed by V. Harikrishna and Ashwini Recording Company has bought the music rights of the film. More than 100,000 CDs & cassettes were sold within 5 days of music release, which is a record in Kannada Film Industry.[19] Over 60,000 records were sold on the first day of market launch.[20]
