In
the
past
years,
Sandalwood
films
have
revolutionised
to
a
great
extent.
Despite
great
demand
for
mass
commercial
films,
filmmakers
have
surprised
us
by
trying
their
hand
in
some
of
the
most
unconventional
subjects.
Roopa
Rao's
Gantumoote
is
one
such
Kannada
film,
which
has
managed
to
turn
heads
with
its
trailer.
The
movie
revolves
around
a
bunch
of
school
going
students
and
their
tryst
with
a
few
aspects
of
life.
While
the
viewers
seem
super
excited
to
catch
this
film
in
the
theatres
tomorrow,
actor
Sudeep
has
also
praised
the
team
through
a
tweet.
The
Pailwaan
actor
wrote,
"Happened

Gantumoote
is
helmed
by
Roopa
Rao,
a
software
professional
who
gave
up
her
career
to
follow
her
passion,
which
lies
in
filmmaking.
Talking
about
creating
Gantumoote,
she
told
the
Deccan
Herald
in
an
interview,
"Gantumoote'
means
'baggage'.
The
tagline
of
the
film,
the
hyphenated
'bag-age'
is
a
pun
on
this.
The
formative
years
of
high
school
play
a
very
significant
role
in
shaping
an
individual's
personality.
It
sets
the
tone
for
the
rest
of
one's
life."
"While
looking
through
a
couple
of
stories
that
I
wrote
a
while
ago,
I
chanced
upon
'Gantumoote'
and
thought
it
was
relevant
to
today's
times.
Nobody
can
really
forget
their
first
love.
And
the
stories
of
one's
first
love
is
so
fresh
and
endearing
that
I
wanted
to
narrate
it
from
a
girl's
perspective.
The
story
is
set
in
the
90s.
The
academic
pressure,
bullying,
friendships
forged
and
movies
that
influenced
youngsters
of
this
time
have
all
been
captured
in
this
film," she
further
added.
