He walks, talks and breathes cinema just like he did when he started 25 years back.

Shivanna nurtures endless dreams for the Kannada film industry and confesses that his father, his family and the people in general, have inspired him to get this far. After having essayed a character of an angry young cop who transforms into a sane man in Tamassu, Shivanna says it was indeed a challenge to play such a character. “There’s reformation, integration and loads of goodness in Tamassu. I think films on similar subjects must be made. Raajneeti was an exception. But the audience too must be willing to accept something different,” thinks Shivanna.

He sees himself shedding his image of an angry young man on screen and taking up more substantial roles.

“I would like to experiment with roles that I haven’t really tried before, like playing out a historical character for instance. The hero of films must undergo a make-over of sorts,” Shivanna told Metrolife. In addition to directing a movie someday, Shivanna says it’s only his consistency of character that makes him feel younger and more energetic every day.
“Simplicity is the key,” he points out. “I would never have been able to complete Sugreeva in 18 hours or look much younger than my age in Tamassu but for a positive attitude,” he says.

Shivanna confesses that he often recalls his role in Anand, his first film where he was nervous and all eyes were set on how Rajkumar’s first son would perform. “I still remember I gave my first shot. My entire family was present. I was appreciated for my performance. That gave me a lot of strength.”

Talking about Jogaiah… Shivanna says he can’t reveal too much but promises that he’ll appear in a totally different form. “The sequel is meant to be different. Prem has made some elaborate plans. I am not sure about them,” he says.

After a hundred films, where does he see Sandalwood heading? “I think we must spruce up our promos and marketing. It must be aggressive and we must go all out to sell our movies,” he observes.

He hopes there would be a breed of directors who will script out unusual themes.
Will he set a trend with his directorial venture and turn a new leaf in Kannada film industry? Shivanna appears game for the challenge. Source: http://www.deccanherald.com

It is with deep sadness that we post this. Kannada actor Vishuvardhan passed away due to cardiac arrest in the wee hours of the morning in Mysore. Vishuvardhan was 59.

Born as Sampathkumar on September 18, 1950 to HL Narayana Rao who was an artist and a scriptwriter, he was named Vishuvardhan in his debut film Vamshavruksha in 1972.

Vishnu (59) is survived by his wife, Bharathi Vishnuvardhan, and two adopted daughters, Keerthi and Chandana.

Thousands descended on the streets to give their Sahasasimha, Dr Vishnuvardhan, a grand farewell. Karnataka Governor H.R. Bharadwaj, Mohan Babu, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Tamil actor Sarathkumar, Radikaa and many others paid their last respects in the National College Grounds.

Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa has allocated two acres of land next to Abhiman Studio on Mysore Road for the memorial of Dr. Vishnuvardhan.

Dishtv unveils new Brand Identity, ‘Ghar Aayi Zindagi’

DishTV gets ‘emotional’, and unveils its new brand identity campaign, Ghar Aayi Zindagi

DTH player Dish TV today unveiled a new brand logo and TV commercials featuring brand ambassador Shahrukh Khan as part of its Rs 30-crore brand restructuring plan.

The 360-degree campaign will have multiple platforms like television, out-of-home, print and digital media.

“Our new brand identity is progressive, dynamic and contemporary. It revolves around ‘Ghar Aayi Zindagi’ and positions the brand around emotional values,” Dish TV Chief Operating Officer Salil Kapoor told reporters here.

The campaign had a total budget of Rs 30 crore, he added.

The T.A.G Ideation-created campaign showcases the brand ambassador, Shahrukh Khan as a 75-year old grandfather (see picture), romancing Tanvi Azmi, his wife. In the second TVC, Shahrukh Khan is paired with Tisca Chopra where he brings home an orphan girl child who settles into the family only after an experience with Dishtv.

The DTH brand, which has about 6.3 million subscribers, has moved from its ‘Santusht’ campaign (where the aim was to educate masses to demand for more than basic cable services) to connecting with the masses.

“After Santusht, we had the ‘Sabse Zyaada’ campaign, which promised the customer the widest channel bouquet as well as advanced active services,” he said.

The new campaign has been designed by Mccann Erickson and the TVCs have been directed by film maker Anurag Basu.

On why the shift now, Kapoor feels that it was necessary to move from mere functional communication to a more emotional paradigm. “It was a result of extensive research, and we’ve now come a long way from the initial phase of the ‘Santusht’ campaign that aimed at educating the masses to demand for more than basic cable services – ‘Sabse Zyaada’,” Kapoor points out.
