Christo, who created a reversing thriller-drama Owljuku Starring Urvashi and Parvati Thiruvothu, she said that she struggled to make a film with a woman lead for eight years.

“I don’t think if I had made it with the producers of Kerala, I would have got such a budget. In Kerala, when you are trying to make a project with a female star, things become difficult and I avoid doing this, because for them, stars only mean male leads. .

Hemantha stated that “pivot” has a capacity between south and northern industries and the ability to take decisions to be “massive” in the east. “But this (Bollywood) does not happen here. In the south, I can make films that I want to make, ”he said.

“They are seen after one or one tool. I think it is trying to catch a way to treat writers in South Mumbai. In the Kannada film industry, we have no place to register our scripts, so for us, SWA is a pan-Indian because there is no other body for us, ”he said.

The filmmaker said, “This is not correct on any condition, but the same happens, and so they reach in the direction, even if they are not interested in directing.”
