Ravichandran
Crazy
Star
An
amazing personality with un-satiable hunger to do good
cinema ever has given V.Ravichandran an entry into history
books of Kannada cinema. He has built the industry tremendously
and made the bollywood to turn back to take a look at
the Sandalwood. What was Rajkapoor to Hindi Cinema in
the form of lavishness, opulence Ravichandran is today
to Kannada cinema.
Making entry
into films by doing paltry roles Ravichandran changed
the graph of Kannada cinema through his trendsetter
film ‘Prema Loka’. He silenced and stunned those who
raised their eyebrows. He gave a new dimension to the
production values. He is non-compromising and determined
filmmaker and this is despite of his much expected film
failure. ‘Shanthi Kranthi’ made at a cost of Rs.4 crores
brought down his spirits and everyone was under the
impression that the damage is beyond repair, Ravichandran
took to remake films. ‘Ramachari’ a remake of Tamil
film hit ‘Chinna Thambi’ also starring Malashri the
success of it given him a lot of courage. He rose like
a phoenix and from that period he has not looked back.
Running the prestigious empire built by his father the
renowned producer of Kannada films Sri N.Veeraswamy
the Ravichandran films still today are a big talk in
the industry. A stage is set now that his films are
a ‘big make or big break’. Ravichandran never ventured
into small budget films and this has in fact kept the
Kannada film industry’s pride high.
A dream
merchant of Kannada cinema today V.Ravichandran is the
proud owner of the first DTS studio in Karnataka. As
the technology advanced the Ravichandran films included
and with the multi media in his house Ravichandran is
stitching story, composing music besides the direction
and acting in his career.
Ravichandran
strongly believes that the fate of producers depends
on the star of Kannada cinema today. A careful watchful
study in making any subject in a systematic way never
burns the fingers of our producer he says. Like how
the preparations are made to go for the examinations,
in the same way the subject is prepared and made in
a tasteful style Ravichandran opines for the success
of films. Half the battle is won the good stories are
prepared, he says.
There was
a time that Ravichandran without the music director
Hamsalekha is a sweet without Sugar. They proved in
their company of 25 films that they are worthy. Now
with separation Ravichandran taking up the responsibilities
of music has shown his strength in some songs compositions
and slowly regaining the lost ground by working day
and night with music instruments.
He is no
doubt the ‘Raja’ of Kannada cinema.
