In a chat with South First, the director recollects his journey from being an avid film-lover to a short filmmaker and then a commercial cinema director.
When asked how he learnt the grammar of film-writing, he quotes writer-director Quentin Tarantino: “No, I didn’t go to a film school. I went to films.”
The director says Kannada superstar late Dr Puneeth Rajkumar was more like his brother and recalls the conversations they had during the Covid lockdowns.
