Comedian
turned
actor
Komal
Kumar
is
gearing
up
for
his
latest
movie
Namo
Boothatma.
The
movie
is
a
horror
comedy.
It
is
the
first
time
when
a
mixture
of
horror
and
comedy
has
been
blended
in
a
Kannada
movie.
The
actor
gave
his
inputs
about
the
movie
in
an
interview
with
Filmibeat
on
the
eve
of
the
release.
Filmibeat:
Why
a
horror-comedy?
Komal
Kumar:
We
attempted
to
make
something
new
for
the
Kannada
audience.
People
are
bored
with
seeing
the
same
type
of
movie
every
week.
They
crave
for
variety
and
we
want
to
be
the
ones
who
provide
it.
Filmibeat:
How
is
the
response
for
the
movie?
Komal
Kumar:
The
songs
have
been
appreciated
by
the
fans
and
has
gone
viral
on
the
social
media.
We
hope
that
the
people
will
love
the
movie
in
the
same
way.
There
is
a
lot
of
curiosity
among
the
viewers.
They
are
expecting
to
watch
something
new
for
a
change.
Filmibeat:
Can
you
tell
us
what
the
movie
is
all
about?
Komal
Kumar:
The
movie
revolves
around
the
existence
of
ghosts.
Many
people
believe
that
ghosts
do
exist,
while
many
refute
all
such
claims.
We
don't
give
a
verdict
about
whether
ghosts
do
exist
or
not,
it
is
left
to
the
viewers'
discretion.
What
we
have
done
is
spun
a
comical
tale
around
ghost
stories.
Filmibeat:
What
is
your
role
in
the
movie?
Komal
Kumar:
I
am
a
guy
who
wants
to
save
his
ancestral
property.
My
character
comes
back
to
his
native
village.
But
he
encounters
various
troubles
while
trying
to
save
his
home.
This
is
where
the
supernatural
angle
comes
in.
Filmibeat:
Is
this
an
original
script?
Komal
Kumar:
No,
the
movie
is
a
remake
of
Tamil
movie
Yaamirukka
Bayamey.
But
we
have
added
our
own
inputs
and
changes
to
make
it
more
pleasing
and
enjoyable
for
the
Kannada
audience.
Filmibeat:
We
heard
that
you
will
be
dancing
with
four
heroines
in
one
song.
Is
it
true?
Komal
Kumar:
No,
this
is
not
true.
I
will
be
dancing
with
two
heroines.
The
movie
does
have
four
heroines
because
the
script
demands
it.
They
are
not
in
the
film
for
glamour
quotient.
The
heroines
have
their
own
background
story
in
the
movie.
