Filmmaker Ramenahalli Jagannatha believes that OTT platforms are a great opportunity for emerging directors. He credits online streaming platforms for helping sustain his career after his initial film. Jagannatha emphasizes that while some films may not reach audiences in theaters, they can find success on OTT platforms. Despite this, he acknowledges that people still enjoy the theatrical experience. Currently preparing to shoot his second project, "Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige," in Kalasa, Kudremukh, and Mudigere, Jagannatha describes it as a dysfunctional family drama exploring a single parent's love for his son. Drawing strength from emotions, he shares that his storytelling is heavily influenced by literature, especially the works of authors like Poornachandra Tejaswi, SL Bhyrappa, and Shivaram Karanth. Jagannatha explains the challenges of translating stories from literature to the screen and mentions the importance of business aspects for the survival of filmmakers. He recognizes the time-consuming nature of the filmmaking process and the need for constant refinement and improvisation.
