Actor Avinash Divakar recently made his small screen debut in the new television series, Nanna Devaru. In a conversation with Bangalore Times, he discusses his entry into television, lessons learned from the medium, and his thoughts on how the Kannada film industry can navigate challenging times. Avinash shares that he had not been an avid viewer of television shows but took on the role of Sachidananda in Nanna Devaru to stay engaged as an actor. He notes that unlike many TV serials centered around a female lead, his character plays a pivotal role in driving the narrative of this family drama. Avinash commends television creators for their strategic approach in crafting content that resonates with diverse audiences and stresses the importance of meticulous planning from pre-production to filming to ensure viewer engagement and longevity of shows. Looking ahead to his directorial debut with the historical drama, Rudrankusha, Avinash emphasizes the need for the film industry to consistently deliver compelling content to attract audiences to theaters amidst the abundance of digital entertainment options. He underscores the challenge of providing unique cinematic experiences that stand out from content on social media and other platforms.
