SandalwoodAmazon Prime recently launched an exclusive Kannada movies library on November 1.D Meera ChithirappaavaiThe advent of Ott (Over-the-top) platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime in the Indian entertainment market has changed the approach of both the audience and content creators. Although cable TV remains the cheapest option for the average Indian family, the increase in subscription of Ott merits attention. As part of this notable growth, Amazon Prime launched an exclusive Kannada movies library on November 1, even as the state celebrated Kannada Rajyotsava. This indeed is a positive turn to Sandalwood's growth as many patrons were eagerly looking forward to this news. For a parallel or art house film to do well in Kannada, it is dependent solely on multiplex audiences. This gives a film the much-needed marketing through word-of-mouth and positive reviews from popular film critics. Despite the quality in content, these films struggle to do well commercially.

InterviewSenna Hegde speaks about his debut film which has been received well, his love for Malayalam cinema, and more.Karthik KeramaluFacebook/Senna HegdeKannada film Katheyondu Shuruvagide is the right mix of hope and second chances, love and loss, comedy and yearning glances. The cast and crew are surely going to bag big awards next year for their work. The movie has entered the second week at the box office and is doing pretty well with the urban audiences. Writer-director Senna Hegde speaks to Tnm about his stunning movie, his influences, and why Malayalam movies hold a special place in his heart. Here are excerpts from the interview: You quit your job in the Us and came back to India. Diganth (as Tarun) does the same thing in Katheyondu Shuruvagide. Is that the only similarity between the director and his story? Well, there are similarities. It is definitely not based on a real story,...

SandalwoodA youth-centric film, director Senna Hegde weaves together the stories of three couples.Aravind ShwethaLife should be full of surprises. If you already know what’s in the kitty, you won’t enjoy it much. This is what Katheyondu Shuruvagide is all about. Youth-centric films are a rarity in Sandalwood. While Kirik Party touched the right chord when it came out more than a year ago, Katheyondu Shuruvagide is all set to become the new favourite among youngsters this year. If the trailer gave you the impression that it is a love story involving the lead couple, you are proved so wrong. The movie is more than just a love story. A slow-paced drama, Katheyondu comes with strong narratives and a bundle of emotions. The movie narrates the love story of three couples – Diganth and Pooja Devariya, Ashwin Rao Pallaki and Shreya Anchan, and finally the elderly couple Babu Hirannaiah...

ControversyThe letter's signatories include actor Chetan, director Kavitha Lankesh, actor Sruthi Hariharan, actor Prakash Raj and actor-director Rakshit Shetty.Haripriya SureshThe ‘dump Dileep’ chorus is growing – whether or not the Malayalam film industry giants want to hear it. The Kannada Film Industry (Kfi) and the Film Industry for Rights & Equality (Fire) are the latest in a long line of people and organisations who have condemned the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (Amma) for reinstating Dileep, an accused in the case of the abduction and sexual assault of an actor. In a letter to Amma General Secretary Edavala Babu, Kfi and Fire expressed their disappointment with Amma, and asked the association to revoke Dileep’s reinstatement till he is cleared of all charges, “and uphold the moral compasses that our film industries at their best possess.” The letter has 50 signatories including actors Chetan, Sruthi Hariharan, Shraddha Srinath, Diganth, Meghana Gaonkar, actor-directors Rakshit Shetty and Prakash Rai, directors Kavitha Lankesh, Roopa Iyer and Pannaga Bharana, among others. “Although we of Kfi & Fire espouse the Constitutional notion of ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ we deem Amma’s reinstatement as even more inappropriate since the victim has been a member of Amma and the accused has yet to be acquitted of all wrongdoing,” the letter said. “With issues like women’s safety and gender equality being at the forefront of national debate, our cinema industries have strong responsibilities to blaze exemplary trails for the rest of society,” it added. Speaking to Tnm, Kannada actor Chetan said: “Now, to reinstate that person, we believe that it is not a thoughtful decision and it doesn’t reflect well on the industry because there is no information about the innocence of Dileep. We are not judging the guilt or the innocence of Dileep, that is up to the courts,” he said. “From our industry standpoint, it (Amma reinstating Dileep) is not sending out the right message. From our industry standpoint, it doesn’t show that the industry and Amma cares about the victim, who is also an Amma member, and also does not bode well about caring about the most vulnerable people – whether that be a woman in the film industry or a woman victimised by violence in this situation,” he added. Earlier this week, four women from the Women in Cinema Collective – Rima Kallingal, Ramya Nambessan, Geetu Mohandas and the survivor – resigned from Amma soon after it reinstated Dileep. Following this, three other Wcc members, Parvathy, Padmapriya, and Revathy, submitted a letter to Amma, questioning its decision and calling for an emergency executive meeting. Fifteen Wcc members also issued a statement explaining why they had never become part of Amma. Speaking to Tnm, actor Sruthi Hariharan told Tnm about why Wcc’s work was important at this juncture, and why one needs to take a stand. “Wcc was formed at a time when a lot of people raised their voice against a man who is accused in the sexual assault case of a fellow artiste. We have heard a lot of such issues being pushed under the carpet and half the time never spoken about, probably because of a fear of losing out on their career or their morality being questioned,” she said. “I think the work of Wcc is very important, especially the fact that this particular battle that they are fighting against Amma is their biggest battle since the time they started. I found it very inspiring that they raised their voice. Especially as a woman, I think it is even more important to support fellow women and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do over here,” she added. Several prominent members of the Malayalam industry have also slammed Amma. Several actors, directors, producers and other technicians from the industry have called to question the actions of Amma office bearers and have demanded that the public representatives who are part of the body, step down.

SandalwoodThe actor is currently busy playing the lead role in the Pon Kumar directorial ‘Yajamana’.Digital NativeDarshan’s fans are waiting eagerly for the release of his upcoming historical Kurukshetra, which is in the post-production mode. According to reports, the dubbing process is currently going on with the makers eyeing a June release. While this film is nearing completion, we hear from sources that Darshan has gone ahead and signed his next. He has apparently agreed to play the lead role in an untitled film to be directed by Tarun Sudhir of Chowka fame. Enquiries about who would bankroll the project revealed that it will be Umapathy, who was one of the co-producers of the hit movie Hebbuli, which had Kiccha Sudeep in the lead role. It may be mentioned here that Chowka had Prem Kumar, Vijay Raghavendra, Prajwal Devaraj, Diganth, Priyamani, Bhavana, Aindrita Ray and Deepa Sannidhi in the star cast. According to earlier reports, Umapathy was to produce a film which was to be helmed by director Prem Kumar but he backed out later for certain reasons. Darshan is currently busy playing the lead role in the Pon Kumar directorial Yajamana. The film’s shooting commenced a couple of months ago and the team is now well into the second schedule. After completing the Pon Kumar film, Darshan will move on to Tarun Sudhir’s film and then will team up with director Sandesh Nagaraj for a project that is expected to go on the floors later this year. While in Kurukshetra, Darshan plays Duryodhana and the Mahabharata is told from his perspective, his next film Yajamana is a completely different genre. Kurukshetra has a bevy of stars in the cast, including Ambareesh, Arjun Sarja, Nikhil Kumar and others, while in Yajamana, Darshan will be sharing screen space with Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. Tanya Hope, Thakur Anoop Singh, P Ravi Shankar, Devaraj and Dhananjay are the others in the star cast. (Content provided by Digital Native)...
