India, April 28 -- Agnyathavasi, the film that Sapta Sagaradaache Ello maker Hemanth M Rao decided to back to give Gultoo -maker Janardhan Chikkanna his next directorial, released in theatres on April 11, after more than a year's delay in getting it there. By then, Janardhan was two films old, having made the comedy Powder for KRG Studios and TVF, which failed to soar. Hemanth, who's produced the film under his banner Dakshayini Talkies, decided to hold on to its release for as long as he could, as he waited out the unfavourable market conditions, both for theatrical and post-theatrical business.
