Filmmaker Ramenahalli Jagannatha believes that OTT platforms are beneficial for emerging directors. He credits the revenue share obtained from online streaming services for sustaining his career after his first film. While some movies may find success on OTT that struggle in theaters, Jagannatha emphasizes the importance of the theatrical experience. With his upcoming project, "Theertharoopa Thandeyavarige," set to begin filming in October, Jagannatha explores a dysfunctional family dynamic and a single parent's love for their child, drawing on his strength in portraying emotions. Influenced by literature, particularly works by authors like Poornachandra Tejaswi, SL Bhyrappa, and Shivaram Karanth, Jagannatha finds inspiration in both written stories and real-life characters for his filmmaking. Despite challenges in balancing creative vision with practical considerations, such as business aspects, Jagannatha highlights the time-consuming nature of the filmmaking process, stressing the importance of continuous refinement and adaptation.
