Mangaluru, Jan 22: The trailer of the much-awaited Tulu film ‘Kattemar’ has been released, significantly heightening anticipation among audiences. The film is set to hit screens on January 23.
Directed by Sachin Katla and Rakshith Ganiga, Kattemar had already sparked interest through its posters and songs. The film promises to present a distinct narrative within Coastalwood cinema, and the newly released trailer has further fuelled curiosity.
