Narayana
Murthy's
wife
Sudha
Murthy,
who
has
earlier
acted
in
a
television
serial,
is
now
making
her
debut
in
Kannada
films.
She
has
already
given
her
consent
to
act
in
director
Sadashiva
Shenoy's
debut
venture
Prarthane,
which
features
Ananth
Nag,
Sudharani,
Pavithra
Lokesh
and
Prakash
Raj
in
leads.
Sudha
is
all
excited
about
her
role
in
the
movie
Prarthane.
"I
enjoy
music
and
watching
films
very
much.
At
this
age,
I
did
not
have
the
ambition
to
act
in
films.
I
told
him
(Shenoy)
to
give
a
role
where
I
don't
have
do
make-up," the
PTI
quotes
Sudha
Murthy
as
saying.
The
film
Prarthane,
which
is
produced
by
Harish,
revolves
around
the
need
to
preserve
Kannada
culture
and
language.
Ramachandra
Ithal
is
behind
camera
and
Veer
Samarath
has
composed
music
for
the
film.
According
to
Shenoy,
the
scenes
involving
Sudha
would
be
shot
this
month.
Sudha
has
written
many
stories,
which
deal
with
common
lives
and
her
views
on
donations,
hospitality
and
realisation.
Her
collections
of
stories
are
'Mahashweta'
(Kannada
and
English),
'Wise
and
Otherwise',
'Dollar
Bahu'
(English)
and
'Paridhi'
(Kannada).
Her
Kannada
book
'Dollar
Sose',
which
was
later
translated
to
English
as
'Dollar
Bahu',
was
adopted
as
a
television
serial
in
2001.
