A veteran old horse with dialogues as the key profession and comedy roles here and there Kunigal Nagabhushan is coming back to Kannada cinema after 10 years. He is playing a small role in the film ‘Agni Mushti’.

In the 50 long years of career as production boy to producer I have seen many stages. I am like old water but Bank Janardhan told me it should not become ‘Baggada’ (rot) and stay at one place. So he has invited me again.

It is for the same Bank Janardhan in Simha Jodi time gave a few lines to narrate it properly. He made it and also got opportunity from that film. In nearly 250 films dialogues which I had written in nearly 200 films Bank Janardhan has acted. While writing the dialogues for the characters I used to write that this role is possible from Bank Janardhan to the director. It was accepted in almost all the cases.

Like how we say ‘Huli Hotteli Huli Huttuthe’ in this Bank Janardhan an artist in the creative field is coming to light now. Kunigal Nagabhushan humble request to film makers is to give prominence to the story. Money next he believes strongly.

Born in Kunigal Taluk of Tumkur district Kunigal Nagabhushan obtained a degree in cinematography and came to cinema industry in 1961. After working as 40 films as assistant director he independently directed films such as Ashirwada and Balu Jenu. Later he took up dialogue writing for films and stood as one of the pillars. He is the state award winner for Gowri Ganesha and Yarigu Helbedi Kannada films as dialogue writer.
