Dia,
that
released
in
February,
has
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
biggest
surprises
from
Sandalwood
in
2020.
The
film
starring
Pruthvi
Ambaar,
Dheekshith,
and
Kushee
in
the
lead
roles
is
continuing
to
receive
the
love
of
audiences
and
is
garnering
traction
from
industry
folks
thanks
to
its
OTT
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
And
now,
the
movie’s
writer-director,
KS
Ashoka
has
opened
about
the
love
thriller’s
reception
in
an
interview
with
the
New
Indian
Express.
Ashoka
revealed,
“A
few
days
ago,
actor
Pruthvi
Ambar,
music
director,
Ajaneesh
Lokanath
and
I
received
a
call
from
Puneeth
Rajkumar
himself,
and
he
had
few
good
words
to
say.
I
felt
happy
to
hear
appreciation
about
my
work
and
the
film.
He
has
also
offered
me
a
chance
to
work
under
his
banner,
PRK
Productions.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“I
also
received
a
personal
call
from
ace
Tamil
director
P
Bharathiraja
himself.
He
mentioned
that
he
could
not
sleep
the
day
he
watched
Dia,
and
I
felt
satisfied
to
hear
that
from
a
director
of
his
stature,
who
is
on
the
ranks
of
Puttanna
Kanagal.
Then
there
was
Sudha
Kongara,
the
director
of
Saala
Khadoos
and
Irudhi
Suttru,
who
appreciated
my
film,
and
she
also
mentioned
it
was
director
Raju
Hirani’s
wife
who
referred
the
film
to
her.
All
of
this
coming
from
various
corners
was
only
an
encouragement.”
The
6-5=2
fame
filmmaker
concluded
by
noting
the
impact
of
Dia’s
reception
on
his
career.
“Dia
has
given
me
an
identity,
and
today,
film
industries
across
languages
are
aware
that
a
certain
KS
Ashoka
exists.
Moreover,
it
was
a
pleasure
to
know
that
the
entire
world
watched
the
film
and
talked
about
its
artistic
aspects.
The
producer,
Krishna
Chaitanya,
is
still
in
talks
with
producers
from
across
various
languages
for
remake
rights,”
he
said.
