Writer-director Janardhan Chikkanna, known for the cyber thriller Gultoo, has switched gears to try his hand at comedy with Powder. "Crafting comedy is a real challenge," he reveals, mentioning that he fine-tuned the ending of the film, incorporating advanced VFX in the final 20 minutes. Breaking away from the norm, Powder pushes visual boundaries in the comedy genre, going beyond traditional dialogue-based humor to include elements of visual comedy. Janardhan points out that comedy films are often made on limited budgets as many rely solely on witty lines and funny situations to amuse audiences.

In a conversation, Janardhan explains that clean comedies have wide appeal as they offer a casual viewing experience where viewers can unwind without needing to overthink. Powder aims to provide a light-hearted and enjoyable experience that can be revisited multiple times despite familiarity with the plot.

The film's ensemble cast is a major draw of Powder, featuring a lineup of seasoned and talented performers. Janardhan emphasizes the importance of giving each character depth and a fulfilling arc, recognizing the actors' individual strengths to maximize the comic potential of the film. He highlights the collaborative effort of the cast in enhancing the humor in every scene.

Overall, Powder stands out for its innovative approach to comedy, blending situational, dialogue-based, and visual humor, as well as showcasing the collaborative talent of its distinguished cast.While comedy may not be my strong suit, I excel in writing thrillers. When I tackle the crime thriller genre, ideas come effortlessly. Shifting from a serious genre to comedy was challenging for me. Comedy offers ample opportunities for experimentation, and I have put forth my best effort in exploring this genre.
