Guruprasad aims to direct a laughter riot amidst coronavirus lockdown

Director Guruprasad is all set to film his next film at home! Known for great films like Mata and Eddelu Manjunatha says he wants to prove that a film can be made during the lockdown. He says he has already completed the script. He is now looking for producers to fund his project. He aims to film in the space he has access to! The film, he says will be available on his official app.

 

“Being an entertainer myself, I don’t need an artist, and I can make people laugh all by myself,” says Guruprasad. The film will be a comedy says Guruprasad.

 

The director has that he has an advantage. He has all the equipment he needs - for shooting and editing. He adds, 'I want to prove that we can make a film during the lockdown period and this is a rare experiment.'

 

He says that the film will be a two-hour long laughter fest. He says, “Viewers can experience the film on an app, by paying a sum of Rs 100. The app is under the works, and more details will be shared once it is up online,” he tells CE. According to Guruprasad, app-based films will be the future, and he terms his thought as visionary. 'In the next three years, there is going to be a high demand for films made for streaming apps. Going forward, I am planning to release a few of my films under my distribution banner. This way, I won’t need a theatre, a distributor or middlemen. All I need is my audience to whom I want to provide entertainment at a low-price,' he says.

 

The director was to be shooting for the Jaggesh starrer Rangayaka right now. However, the film's shoot now stands postponed due to the coronavirus. “I am ready with the script and was in the process of finalizing the cast for Ranganayaka when we were all confined to our respective homes. I will take it forward once we’re back to our normal life, and have the freedom to walk out of the house,” he says. The shooting for the film will probably resume after the coronavirus crisis subsides.
