Writer-director Janardhan Chikkanna, known for the cyber thriller Gultoo, is venturing into the realm of comedy with his latest film, Powder. He acknowledges the challenges of crafting and executing comedy, especially as he has incorporated visual effects into the climactic moments, pushing the boundaries for a comedy movie. While many comedy films typically have limited budgets, focusing on dialogues and situations to induce laughter, Powder also includes visual comedy in its final 20 minutes. According to Janardhan, clean comedies tend to attract larger audiences, providing an opportunity to unwind and enjoy a lighthearted viewing experience. The film features an impressive ensemble cast, each bringing their unique talents to the project, with a conscious effort to give every character a well-rounded development. By capitalizing on the strengths of the cast members, Powder aims to deliver a comedic delight that viewers can enjoy repeatedly.Comedy has never been my strong suit; I excel in writing thrillers. Coming up with ideas for a crime thriller comes easily to me, but transitioning to comedy was challenging. The comedy genre offers ample opportunities for experimentation, and I have dedicated myself to producing my best work in that realm.
