Filmmaker Ramenahalli Jagannatha views OTT platforms as a boon for emerging directors. He credits the revenue share from online streaming platforms for helping sustain his career post his first film. He acknowledges that while some movies may not find success in theaters, they have the potential to thrive on OTT platforms. Jagannatha is optimistic about people still seeking out the cinema experience. Currently, he is preparing to shoot his next project, "Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige," which delves into a story of a single parent's love for his son. Drawing inspiration from literature, the director's storytelling is rooted in emotions. Despite having an engineering background, his passion for writing was ignited by reading works by authors such as Poornachandra Tejaswi, SL Bhyrappa, and Shivaram Karanth. Jagannatha emphasizes the importance of various elements aligning, including business considerations, to bring a project to fruition. He notes the challenge of translating characters and narratives onto the screen visually as a director. The director explains the lengthy process of creating a new project, emphasizing the need for continual improvement from the initial scripting phase to the final draft.
