Mr S.A.Chinne Gowda one of the prestigious personalities of Kannada filmdom since 25 years is brimming with happiness as the two sons Vijaya Raghavendra and Murali have achieved a spot and raring to go reach heights. This ‘Meshtra’ Makkalu have grown up ‘Masth’. Mr Chinne Gowda’s eldest son’s ‘Sri’ creating big hype and youngest son Murali bagging the Karnataka state film award has made the senior Gowdru to arrange for a party and announce the evolution of ‘Vijayeshwari Arts’. Top director S.Narayan will be directing the first film in this banner with Vijaya Raghavendra playing the lead. This will be launched in December. S.A.Rajkumar is getting ready the tunes. In the forthcoming months the sibling together will be launched expressed Chinne Gowdru who has come out from all traumas in his life.

The elder son Vijaya Raghavendra winning the national award for his role in ‘Kotreshi Kanasu’ as a child actor and reaching to a comfortable position with ‘Ninagaagi’ is now all set with ‘Sri’ a film made with Mua Thai –kick boxing art. The younger Murali with a strong beginning in ‘Chandra Chakori’ (that ran for 500 days) six films in three years career and all of them doing quite well at the box office has bagged the Karnataka state film award for his role in ‘Kanti’ produced by RS Productions in the debut direction of Bharat.

“My father is a man of purity. He has not hurt anyone in his life. I saw tears in his eyes”. Then I thought why the God should give trouble to such a simple and humble person. I sat with my elder brother Vijayanna and seriously discussed about seeing the happiness back in my father. Siblings now feel slightly achieved in getting back the lost glory to their father. I would become emotional when I go back to the days of horrible time. I am an angry young man. While my father and elder brother are cool as cucumber. They always tell me not to talk with temper. Controlling the emotions and anger is the big thing I have learnt from them – Murali the young sensation of Kannada cinema today was in a flashback mood.

I was basically lethargic. I thought of either doing business or being PA to my brother. But destiny brought me to this tinsel town as an actor. It is said that I am the youngest actor to get state award in the history of Karnataka state film awards says Murali a confident looking guy.

Introvert Vijayaraghavendra who believes much in his works doing the talk clarified that he did not lose consciousness as it is said by his father. I received injuries and the pain was there for one to two hours while doing the stunts for ‘Sri’ in Bangkok. However the opportunity of ‘Sri’ was a lifetime one. Working in a place for 50 days without knowing the language I set all my days for it and Prakash has been extra ordinary in his work. I am happy today because my younger brother has won the State award in his second film as a hero in ‘Kanti’ said the handsome guy Vijaya Raghavendra.
