Geetha (2019 film)

Geetha is a 2019 Indian Kannada action drama film written and directed by debutant Vijay Naagendra starring Ganesh, Shanvi Srivastava and Prayaga Martin in lead roles.

The film derives its name from 1981 Kannada classic Geetha directed by Shankar Nag, however, the film team has clarified the content is very different and revolves around the famous Gokak Agitation.
