Writer-director Janardhan Chikkanna, known for the cyber thriller Gultoo, is venturing into the realm of comedy with his latest project, Powder. Describing the transition as a challenging task, he shares that he took extra care in fine-tuning the film, especially the climactic portions. "The final 20 minutes involve advanced visual effects, pushing the boundaries typically seen in comedy films," he explains. While traditional comedies often rely on witty dialogues and amusing situations, Powder sets itself apart by incorporating visual comedy in its concluding scenes.

Clean comedies, according to Chikkanna, attract more viewers because they offer a light-hearted escape without requiring intense focus. "Comedy helps people unwind and enjoy the two to three hours of the film," he says, aiming to create a movie that remains entertaining upon multiple viewings. The film also boasts an ensemble cast, each member contributing their expertise to enhance the storytelling. Chikkanna emphasizes the importance of giving every character a meaningful arc, utilizing the talents of the cast to extract maximum laughter from the audience.

Working with a stellar lineup of actors, Chikkanna ensures that the characters in Powder receive proper development and closure, leveraging the strengths of each performer to deliver a memorable comedic experience."Comedy isn't really my strong suit; I consider it an experiment. I thrive as a writer in the thriller genre, where ideas flow effortlessly for me. Transitioning from a serious genre to comedy was challenging, but I embraced the opportunity for experimentation that comedy offers and gave it my all."
