Ramenahalli Jagannatha, a filmmaker, believes that online streaming platforms are a boon for emerging directors. He attributes his ability to sustain his career after his first film to the significant revenue share available on these platforms. While some films may not find success in theaters, they have the potential to thrive on OTT platforms. Nonetheless, Jagannatha emphasizes that there is still demand for the theatrical experience. Currently working on his second project, "Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige," a family drama centered around a single parent's love for his son, Jagannatha draws inspiration from his strength in emotions and his passion for storytelling. Influenced by literature, particularly works by authors such as Poornachandra Tejaswi, SL Bhyrappa, and Shivaram Karanth, Jagannatha also finds inspiration in the characters he encounters. Reflecting on the challenges faced by new filmmakers in launching new projects, Jagannatha highlights the importance of aligning all aspects of the production, especially the business side, for long-term success. He acknowledges that the creative process is time-consuming but vital for creating compelling films.
