Because of unfortunate death of CM josh has been postponed to September 5

The much-awaited Josh, starring newcomers Naga Chaitanya and Karthika in the lead roles, is to be released on September 5 worldwide. Produced by Dil Raju, who gave the hits Dil, Bhadra, Bommorilu and Happy Days, Josh is directed by debutant Vasu Varma. The movie has aroused interest in trade circles as the lead pair are the offspring of two illustrious names in the industry. Naga Chaitanya is the son of mega star Nagarjuna and Karthika is the daughter of yesteryear actress Radha. Nagarjuna said he was contemplating to provide the launchpad for his son when Dil Raju came up with an interesting storyline. Things fell in place once the heroine was finalized and now the film is ready. Naga is lucky to have his first film produced by a leading name with a string of hits, said the proud father.
