The latest we hear is that the filmmaker is now set to step it up with more frequent updates and publicity material.

Ghost: Shivarajkumar’s gangster avatar is only 10-20% of the narrative, says director MG Srinivas

Ghost, according to the filmmaker, is a two-part venture, with the first in theatres on October 19. It will be the first film in the director’s proposed Srinivas Cinematic Universe, which will combine the Ghost and Birbal franchises, with a bunch of movies planned for the next 10-15 years. Srini’s character from the Birbal franchise will be seen in Ghost, with the filmmaker tweeting that it will be more than just one scene. The story, he had said, is based on a real incident that occurred in Chennai , with the narrative transpiring in a 48-hour timeframe. Most of this will take place in a prison, with only about 20% of the film dedicated to Shivarajkumar’s gangster avatar.
