Kannada film producers often find this trouble unless the directors are refined. Look at Benkosri – BK Srinivas who made ‘Mandakini’ lost heavily and made ‘Alemaari’ did not see profit and ‘Bhagirathi’ that saw some good fortune for him.
Despite of earning good returns for ‘Alemaari’ in the first week Rs.1.47 crores producer BKS ‘Alemari’ incurred Rs.4 crores investment did not see the profit. Novice director Santhu did not even give him liberty to sell TV rights. Till today BK Srinivas has not been able to sell it for channel.
‘I have not seen profit from ‘Alemaari’. This ‘Dove’ will not be as expensive as ‘Alemaari’ but I don’t come to sets. Today I came to set at this Babulgum factory and saw five cameras. That put me in tension. I am not blaming Santhu or making objections to his usage. Idella Nodidre Nanage Tale Kedathe! It irritates me too!
What money I invest on Santhu film is given to Prof Baraguru Ramachandrappa he would make eight films. Already ‘Bhagirathi’ gave me Rs.18 lakhs subsidy BK Srinivas passed surprising information.
On going to foreign for shoot of a song for ‘Dove’ producer BKS is not optimistic. Karnataka has rich natural locations he says.
