Writer-director Janardhan Chikkanna, known for his successful cyber thriller "Gultoo," is now venturing into the realm of comedy with his latest film "Powder." He finds writing and executing comedy to be quite challenging. In "Powder," Janardhan has not only refined the climax of the film but also incorporated advanced visual effects in the final 20 minutes, pushing the boundaries of traditional comedy filmmaking. While comedy films are typically made on a limited budget, focusing mainly on dialogues and situations to induce laughter, "Powder" features a blend of situational, dialogue-driven, and visual comedy in its concluding moments.

In a conversation, Janardhan discusses the impact of clean comedies on attracting larger audiences, highlighting the ease with which viewers can relax and enjoy the film's duration without the need for intense focus. He emphasizes the repeat viewing value of a comedy like "Powder." The director also appreciates the opportunity to collaborate with a talented ensemble cast, acknowledging the importance of ensuring each character receives depth and closure in the story. Despite the extensive screen time of the cast, Janardhan aims to fully utilize their individual strengths to enhance every scene and extract maximum comedic potential from their performances.When it comes to my strengths, I excel in writing thrillers. I find that ideas come more effortlessly when I embark on crafting a crime thriller. Shifting from a serious genre to comedy posed a challenge for me. Comedy offers ample room for experimentation as a genre, and I have put forth my best efforts in exploring it.
