SUMAN & GOWDA MAKE THEIR DEBUT
In a film that focuses on a simple philosophy Arishadwargas, director Srinivas is paired with 2 heroines Nikila Suman & Kavitha Gowda. As of now the dialogues in the trailer for Nikila has made a big talk for using such words. I am from conservative family and the need for such dialogue was director prerogative says Nikila a stage artist in her debut film Srinivasa Kalyana. Although she has tough role the inner senses are soft. She is from a conservative family and such dialogues are not her cup of tea. She has delivered it because it is for her role Radha. A multi talented & multi tasking personality Srini cleverly added “Devranege Devru Cinema Alla” as caption and that worked out. Later a trailer long ago did not fetch him much publicity. A song Gap Gapalli….and another dialogue oriented trailer brought good mileage for the film. On whether such dialogues will be part of the film or it was just to get curiosity for the film, Srini keeps quiet. He says watching cinema would answer the doubts.
