TV Feasible - Karnad

Gnanapeeth award winner Girish Karnad has declared that he is not going to direct film in future. Aftermath of making the film is the most difficult task and time consuming. I have experienced this from Kanooru Heggadathi Kannada film direction. Television film or serial direction is feasible, comfortable and for marketing there is no stress opines Karnad speaking to media persons after showing the excerpts of three of his television venture for Bangalore Doordarshan. I am not accepting acting also nowadays. Concentrating more on writing informed Karnad sipping whisky.

When Doordarshan arrange for the preview it cannot serve liquor. That is the reason I am hosting the party on this evening Karnad repeatedly told and invited all for the booze.

At the cozy preview theatre of BMIC in Indiranagar Karnad arranged for the excerpts of all the television serials on Tuesday evening.
