‘Raitara Makkalige Hennu Kodi’ releasing in Hubballi today

Kannada film titled Raitara Makkalige Hennu Kodi, which revolves around the social problem of men involved in farming not being considered suitable for marriage, will be released in Hubballi on Friday.

Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Thursday, producer and director of the film Kemparama Hediyala said that it is a story of a son of the soil.
