Vishala Hrudayada Kannadigaru (Large Hearted Kannadigas)
Tell me son
Your father told me that you are a film-maker,
but you seem to be too shy for that!
Can I speak with Shruthi for a couple of minutes?
That's it? She is in her room upstairs
You are only going to talk to her right?
It's wise to think a 1000 times before pulling the emergency chain to stop a train,
or to knock on a girl's room and intrude her.
Hi, where are you going?
I am going to have an ice-cream, want to join?
No, you carry on.
Dude, I am eloping
Actually I am not interested in this marriage.
So I came to tell you before telling it to everyone else
If you had told me this a bit earlier, at least my energy would not have been spent, right?
Anyway, lend me a hand.
By the way, why aren't you interested in marriage?
Actually, I want to make a good film in Kannada. Hence I have written a story and I am sincerely working towards it.
But I have not gotten the producer yet.
In the meantime, my producers i.e. my parents said-
"You may get a producer in the future, but if you grow old, you will surely not get a wife ",
along with a few emotional dialogues and they convinced me to come here.
Hmm, dreamer!
Anyways,
On FaceBook, twitter etc, people keep complaining that 7 out of 10 Kannada films don't have stories at all.
So when you say you have a good story, why are you not landing a producer?
Actually, we have not met the 7th type of producer yet. That's why.
7th type of producer? What do you mean?
Hmm, till now we have met 6 types of producers.
The first one is
Type 1 : Star devotee
Hi Sir, My name is Vihaan
Your friend referred you to me. He told me that you were interested in producing films
What dude, my friend was all praises about your film direction skills,
but you look like a kid, just out of college.
Damn, I should have come with a heavily bearded look like <i>gaddappa</i>
What dude?
Sir, what matters is not whether the knife is old or new, but if it is sharp enough. Right?
Anyway, have a cup of coffee.
Sir, alcohol, I am not used to having it sir.
What! You don't drink alcohol?
Its like coming to a temple and not drinking the <i>Theertha</i>..
How will you direct a film, if you don't drink alcohol dude?
Sir, just because men in general have mustache,
it doesn't mean that men without mustache aren't men at all, right?
You speak very well
Anyway, you are not drinking the <i>Theertha</i>. Will you at-least take the <i>Prasada</i>?
Sure sir
Continue then
Sir, I have a good story
Forget the story. First tell me who is going to be the hero of the film
Sir, hero is this guy who debuted in...
What? Debuted?
You are talking of catching small fishes with a net that is meant to catch big whales.
We are in the business of making 100s from 10s.
1s, 2s are not for us.
We work only for the stars, by the stars and with the stars.
Dude, take those suitcases inside
Anyway, how many songs and how many fight scenes are there in the film?
There is an item song, right?
Are you casting local girls or girls from Mumbai for the song?
No sir, we don't need an item song in our film
Dude! Look, the babes are feeling bad.
You girls get inside.
An item song is as important to a film as pickle is for food
Sir, when you have cooked tasty food you don't need pickle right?
Tell me, whether you really want to make the film or not?
Sir our story is a bit different.
Sir, he is a kid. He has used that word by mistake, forgive him sir
First get all these things cleared from the table
OK sir
Dude, don't use that word ever again.
We make films to make money, not for charity
Why sir? Diff...
Such kind of films has also been successful in the market right?
Dude, you know about just one colour (film) that has won.
I know thousands that have failed.
Don't waste my time.
I will refer you to my guy there
He has a book which has the formula to make a super hit film.
Take that from him and come up with a story according to that formula. We will see after that.
Type 2 : King of Remakes
Dude, your story is good.
I liked the way you narrated it too.
I am ready to invest in your film
But I have one condition
Tell me sir
Dude, come here
See dude, this has arrived just yesterday from Korea.
If you are ready to remake this film tell me. I will invest.
Even when I was doing my engineering, despite not having any interest in it and struggling to pass the subjects, I did not copy
Now, I have come to the film field with a lot of interest and you are asking me to copy?
You fool, don't call it copying.
See, if you make it frame to frame, similar to the original that is copying.
But if you remove a frame in between, it is called inspiration
No sir.
A cook would want to serve his own recipe, at-least when he is cooking for the first time. It is the same with me too, right?
Then you better get into cooking, not film making.
See dude, in our industry,
new story, original idea, new director,
all these are very risky
You do one thing
You make your film in Telugu or Tamil and make it a hit there
Then, I myself will purchase the remake rights for Kannada.
What do you say?
Type 3 : I am the hero
Dude, the script is amazing.
Doesn't matter how much we spend, let's make this film as rich as possible.
Let's bring the heroine from Mumbai only.
Ananth nag sir for sentiment,
Achyuth kumar to spice it up(popular trend in Kannada films)
Sadhu Kokila for comedy (popular trend in Kannada films)
Yograj Bhat will write the lyrics
and Puneeth Rajkumar will sing the song(popular trend in Kannada films)
If you are OK with the deal, let us decide the shooting dates right away
Sir, we have not spoken about the dates with the hero yet
Dude, I will get you a new hero
Why are you worrying about it?
Who is it sir?
Who else do you think? It's me!
Our hero character is a student in the college sir,
not the principal
I could hear your mind voice dude
It is about my age right?
Why do you worry about it?
Dude, get those weights man.
I will get younger in just three weeks, wait and watch
If we tell the camera-man,
he will make me look young on screen, don't worry
Type 4 : Know-it-All
But we have few questions to ask
If you answer those questions convincingly,
we will produce your film
Why don't you develop the hero's character arc positively?
Why do you need red camera for this?
I have just bought a digicam last week
Why don't you shoot with that?
Motivation for heroine's dialogue seems to be wrong. Isn't it?
If we shoot the entire film in a single shot,
then we can finish the film in a single day's payment. Don't you think?
With respect to music of this film,
can't we try Jazz or Samba instead of the retro feel?
If we kill the heroine character
and make her a ghost,
this will become a horror film.
Such films are doing well in market, right?
If we add a hook to the fight,
build a theme around it,
and make the hero fight using only reverse kicks and head shots,
it will be amazing, don't you think?
Why can't we shoot that Singapore portion here in Singasandra?
If we give golden yellow color costumes to the heroine character
and magenta blue mixed costume to the hero,
avoid bright colors in the art direction
and add dark tint during the color correction,
the emotions will stand out extraordinarily. What do you say?
If we shoot the entire film using VFX only, like Avatar,
then we won't need stars, and the amount of work involved will also be less.
What do you say?
Type 5 : Brother
Have a seat please
Your film was fantastic,
fresh concept, new team, everything was amazing sir.
It won't be wrong if I say that you are our inspiration.
Actually we are also a new team like yours.
All are young and passionate.
We have prepared a fresh script,
have planned everything differently.
We have spent almost a year in preparing this script.
Oh is it!
You can ask me whatever guidance you need anytime,
I will be there to help you
Give me a minute please
Will post a status update about this meeting on FaceBook
Cool, now tell me
Sir, we have come hoping that you will produce
Oh, no brother,
currently we are not doing new comer's projects
Sir, we got the third suit case also because of this week's ticket sales
Keep it there and go
You continue brother
Sir, you always keep telling that you will encourage new talent, right?
Definitely, but not right now
See, when there are so many different types of horses in the market
We have to select a horse which we like and which runs well too,
After finding such a horse, we believe in it and invest money on it
We get it trained for the race almost for one or two years,
then bet money on it and make it run the race
Somehow because of our good luck,
that horse wins in the race
and we make some money out of it.
Now immediately if I have to find another new horse..
Not just that
Next there is an action movie script that our associate director has prepared,
A horror movie script that our assistant director has prepared
And an indie movie project by our editor
This being the case,
don't you think it will be unfair to accommodate you keeping them all aside?
Ok sir, then I will make a move
Brother, just a minute
Come let's take a selfie,
for FaceBook.
Type 6 : God of money, without money
Brother, your story is good,
But...
Sir, I can't make you the hero of this film
I can't add an item song in this film
I can't change the story of this film
And I definitely don't want to remake.
Brother, your story is good
Your execution idea is great
Your hero choice is super and
There is a 100% chance of this film becoming a box office hit
But a small problem
I am trying to make a film with a penny, and you are asking for a pound
So as soon as we get the seventh type of producer we will start our film
Do you mean that, whatever these 6 types of producers are doing is wrong?
No, when did I say that?
Hmm, perspectives, which is right, which is wrong,
which is good, which is bad,
when we look at it from their point of view, whatever they are doing seems to be right.
You are speaking like that reporter who comes in Ulidavaru Kandanthe film.
You say that yours is a new team, new ideas, new attempt and all that.
Here, if the count of the new teams winning is like pea nuts, the count of teams losing is as big as a pumpkin.
To top that, already so many new directors have entered the industry.
That being the case, who do you think will support you if you attempt to do such a big film?
Yes,
I am a newcomer
My team is new
Our attempt is new
But we are not doing the film to show-off
We are not doing the film to take advantage of our father's money
We are not doing the film because we are not fit to do anything else
Or we are not doing the film without knowing anything about it too
After studying hard for twelve years in school, 2 years in PU College,
4 years in engineering, and then find a job in a software company,
you work hard there, get promoted again and again, go on-site, earn a bit more money there,
find a good girl, get married and settle comfortably in a foreign country..
When many people gave many such advises, ignored all those,went on to pursue my child hood dreams,
dreams which were born, watching the likes of Rajkumar, Vishnuvardhan and Shankarnag.
With the desire to pursue those dreams, I quit my well-paying engineering job with 40-50k salary per month
and again, like a student, started learning about films and the process of making them, for 5-6 years…
worked in numerous short films, finally came up with a good feature film script of my own,
again started looking for a good producer for almost two years.
People asked me to do my film in different languages, but I dint.
I am waiting thinking that though it might get delayed, I will make my film in my own language.
I worry when bad films release in Kannada and celebrate when good films release.
When my friends who used to study with me at one point of time share such pictures on FaceBook and WhatsApp,
though it feels like my ass is on fire, I console myself and reply to them with a smiley.
I calm myself thinking that our paths are different.
With the faith that the good luck that struck so many new teams and new attempts will strike me too one day or the other,
I move ahead in my journey honestly, sincerely and in a righteous path.
And one day or the other I am sure that they will definitely lend me their hand for support.
Who?
Who else?
Large hearted Kannadigas
Till then,
Hi friends,
the video you saw till now was not just to make you laugh or entertain you.
Our team is trying to make a feature film in Kannada.
Every film will have two stories.
One is the story that you see in the film
and the other is the story of the team's struggle, the problems they face,
and the tragedy that is filled in their journey of making that film.
We are confident that somehow we will make the film, will bring it to you and you will all watch it for sure.
But the purpose of this video is to share the story of our film making journey with you.
Not only this, until we bring our film to the theaters,
for every problem that we face, we will add some mustard, for the challenges we face, will add some ginger,
will add aginomoto to the obstructions that we face, will garnish our success with cashew nuts.
To summarize, we will add all the spices in the right proportion
and bring the making videos in the form of entertaining webisodes.
You have encouraged and helped many new talents to grow.
Hope you support us too.
Brother, all that is fine.
But you dint tell us why Shruthi sister eloped?
Oh yeah, hold on
Oh damn, I forgot
Friends, if you want to know about our film making journey
Dude, it would be better if Sukratha says all this.
has more fan-following than you
Carry on
Hi, if you want to know about their film making journey
Please like the video, share it and subscribe to the channel
You can connect with them on FaceBook and twitter
And all you folks please wish them well
Thank you
Hey does your film not have a title?
Sister, we will announce that in our next webisode
