Shetty, who recently produced the Kannada blockbuster 'So From So' and Nag Ashwin ('Kalki 2898 AD', 'Mahanati), as per the press note. "For a filmmaker, moments like these feel almost unreal. To have some of the most visionary storytellers of our generation come together in support of 'Jugnuma' is both in humbling and deeply affirming. This film was born out of an intimate journey into magical realism - created from the heart and in a vacuum - and to see it embraced by such giants of Indian cinema makes me believe that cinema really is a dream worth fighting for," said Raam Reddy as per the press note. 'Jugnuma' will receive a nationwide release in cinemas on September 12, 2025.
