With the launch of Dakshayani Talkies, what happens to lost N films, your previous banner?
I started lost movies because I knocked so many doors on making my first film, and I realized that they were not only doors but only walls. It reached a point where I liked, ‘If I want to make a film, I would have to find a way to fund myself. I did this with the help of friends and family. Initially, I planned to name my banner, as there was no bucket production to dig people in the practice of sucking people in the industry. However, it is not right to start a new venture with frustration and anger. I lost its name N because I started making a film, and it became dependent. I eventually made my first film.
Starting as a filmmaker, what does it bother you during your conversation with producers?
No one was ready to listen to my script. There was more with his rejection which was in the film in the film, which was about the film. This is like recognizing a restaurant without tasting food. People did not have patience to listen to my story. After struggling for 8-9 years, I looked for opportunities outside Karnataka. I spent time in Mumbai, to know my job better. I co-written Thunderstorm For Shri Ram Raghavan. I was about to pack my bag and went to Mumbai permanently, but things used to work back home.
What is the motto of the dead Talkies?
I know people who have a great idea and are ready to work hard. I want to produce films with which I echo. I want to return the films that I like to see as the audience. We have a rich history of storytelling in Kannada. Words like ‘Mass’ and ‘Class’ are given by the media. For me, any film that earns money is a ‘month’ film. Godhi Banna … There is a collective film as it made its investment ten times. In the Kannada film industry, if a film creates a success, it is not taken seriously. It is called a class film, and it is not appropriate. A collective film or an arthouse film, every story has an audience. To find out what budget is required to make that film is to find out.
After the epidemic, content-oriented films are struggling to do better in theaters than mainstream entertainers …
I disagree. If you make a film with the right amount of honesty, people are ready to see it. When I watch a Malayalam film, half the crowd in the theater is Kannadigus. Kannadigas is watching Malayalam films, because we are not making good films. If ManjmelBoys The local population has watched the film in Tumkur, enjoying the 100-day run. We (Kannada filmmakers) should find out what we are not doing.

What is the size of Agyathvasi? How big is the budget?
The strength and weight of an idea cannot be defined to support it by bank balance. A small idea can change and cause a revolution. Rishh Shetty Kantara (2022) is one of the best examples of theory, Even in Hollywood, Blair Witch Project And Abnormal activity Did his budget a profit 700 or 800 times a profit? Recently, no one expected King To do so well at the box-office. Fiery There is not an event film. He said, it has a style that can create its grip. This will provide an entertaining dramatic experience. It is dependent on people to shape the fate of the film.

With ‘Shakhahari’ and ‘Agyathvasi’, Raghnay Raghu has gone into central characters with comedy roles …
I see the actors how the actor looks at himself. They are like ships. You have to get the best of them. The only way to challenge them is a great story. Raghu sir, even in a scene in which much can be done for him, he will still kill it in his time and other minute ways. These are actors that we should celebrate and not take them.

What does the Kannada film do in Karnataka, Ajit has no one. I am making a Kannada film, so why should I be afraid of someone? I am saying that with great pride, and it can come back to cut me later. However, if I give place to someone else, there is no resistance from my end. If we adjust someone else, there is no pride that we do.
