I.M.Vittala Murthy, Secretary of Information, Government of Karnataka and Mr. Yadunath, Chairman of the Exhibition Authority are behind the 12 day mega event.

After formal inauguration, actor M.P. Shankar said that he had not imagined that he would see a still of a Kannada film that was released one year before his birth. "I was born in 1935, but here there is a still of a Kannada film "Samsaara Nouke' which was produced in 1935. It is certainly a momentous event and for the Kannada film fans this will be a treat to watch' he said.
