Director of three Kannada films Srinivasaraju firmly believes that all films he makes is an entertainer. When he expressed a film on the dreaded killers, rapists of Dhandupalya is an entertainer he had to face the class from the media for considering like that. Finally veteran actor Doddanna intervened and said it is not entertainer but an eye opener to the society.

The killings, rapes, dacoity are part of the ‘Dhandupalya’ Kannada cinema. How it can become an entertainer the media asked. Srinivasa Raj was adamant in his discussion. The regional censor board has given 11 cuts and given ‘A’ certificate for the film. Meanwhile the controversy surrounded on this film ‘Dhandupalya’ has been solved. For message I do not make a cinema. There are books, scholars, philosophers and others to give message he says.

Hindi cinema actor Makrand Deshpande was present to address the media on his first Kannada cinema. When media questioned director Srinivasa Raju there was a question from Makrand on ‘Bandit Queen’. Director of the film Kapoor did not say it as an entertainer Makrand had to keep quiet. ‘Mujme Rakshas Baita Hein’. It is a significant role in life the art portion should be there. I was spell bound three times from this character that one among the real life gangster.

Ravi Kaale disclosed it was tough doing the real life character. Nisha Kothari was scared before the actors like Makrand Deshpande. After watching this film ‘Dhandupalya’ it made me fresh and gave new energy she pointed and that was not acceptable as the subject is such a crime related one.

In the land Sri Ramayana and the Mahabharath was seen we have to see this kind of gangs and films on such people. It is Vilakshana, Vichitra kind of cinema. He plays the defense lawyer and in the previous film of Srinivasa Raju he was a lawyer. When I saw the gang of ‘Dhanduplaya’ in the witness box of reel life I was shivering remembering them at home.
