News
oi-Prakash
By Balraj Tantri
Nagashekar,
who
entered
film
industry
as
a
comedy
actor,
turned
director
in
Ganesh's
Aaramane.
But
he
tasted
a
huge
success
in
Sanju
Weds
Geetha.
Now,
he
is
back
with
his
latest
flick
Mynaa,
which
is
releasing
tomorrow.
For
the
latest
film,
Nagashekar
has
chosen
a
realistic
subject
that
he
heard
from
a
senior
cop
some
years
ago.
He
has
roped
in
Chethan
Kumar,
Nithya
Menon
and
Tamil
star
Sarath
Kumar,
who
was
last
seen
in
Darshan's
Sarathi,
to
play
the
important
roles.
The
interesting
part
of
the
film
is
that
the
movie
will
be
made
in
other
languages
too,
and
Studio
Green,
the
home
production
of
Tamil
superstar
Surya,
has
come
forward
to
buy
the
movie.
However,
as
part
of
the
movie
promotion,
director-turned-actor
Nagashekar
talked
about
Mynaa
to
Oneindia.
Here
are
the
excerpts
from
the
interview...
Tell
us
about
the
movie...
Mynaa
is
based
on
a
real-life
incident.
Ex-cop
BB
Ashok
Kumar,
the
man
who
had
detected
more
than
100
murder
cases,
narrated
me
a
murder
mystery
that
became
the
subject
of
my
story.
Technically,
the
film
is
rich
and
the
same
crew
of
Sanju
Weds
Geetha
has
worked
for
this
film
too.
On
working
with
Tamil
star
Sarath
Kumar...
Sarath
Kumar
will
be
seen
in
the
role
of
police
officer
Ashok
Kumar.
It
was
a
great
experience
to
work
with
him.
He
is
thorough
professional
and
committed
actor.

Nagashekar
These
are
the
times
of
shooting
songs
abroad.
Have
you
shot
any
tracks
in
foreign
locales?
No,
we
have
shot
the
movie
in
India
itself.
There
are
many
undiscovered
beautiful
locations
in
Karnataka.
Hence,
we
did
not
find
it
necessary
to
go
abroad.
Songs
have
been
filmed
in
Karnataka,
Chennai
and
Goa.
One
of
the
songs
has
been
filmed
at
Dudhsagar
Falls,
Goa
border.
Mynaa
Plans
on
releasing
outside
Karnataka...
The
film
will
be
released
in
cities
like
Chennai,
Hyderabad,
Goa
and
Mumbai
without
subtitles.
During
my
last
visit
to
Mumbai,
Kannadigas
residing
there
asked
me
why
our
films
hardly
release
big
outside
the
state.
That
made
me
to
plan
for
the
release
in
many
places.
Mynaa
In
how
many
screens
Mynaa
is
releasing
in
Karnataka?
Mynaa
is
releasing
in
over
120
screens.
The
film
will
see
the
light
of
day
in
all
the
multiplexes
too.
Mynaa
In
the
recent
months,
many
Kannada
movies
have
done
well
at
the
Box
Office...
It
is
a
good
news
for
the
industry
and
it
is
a
good
development
as
it
helps
filmmakers
to
come
out
with
fresh
ideas.
The
industry
and
filmmakers
can
only
survive
if
films
do
well.
Mynaa
What
do
you
want
to
say
to
the
audience...
A
filmmaker
gets
true
recognition
only
if
people
watch
the
movies
in
theatres.
Please
encourage
us
and
other
films
too.
