He was speaking after inaugurating a regional language film festival organised by Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy and Information and Public Relations Department at St Aloysius College in Mangaluru on Friday.

Chandrashekhar said the regional language films, which represent the local culture, folklore and ethnic values, have a great significance in world cinema. In a way, the regional films themselves are world cinemas in the true sense as they see the world through regional perspectives. “As a filmmaker, I believe in native films”, he said.

“Most of the films produced in Hollywood are monotonous in nature with similar themes such as science fictions. India is next to Hollywood in producing films. Compared to Hollywood, Indian cinema is vivid in nature," he said.

Chandrashekhar favoured the need for producing good films with a shoe-string budget. Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy plans to organise regional film festivals along the border areas, he said.

Filmmaker Rishab Shetty said good cinema surpasses the barriers of language. He stressed that the cultural aspects portrayed in films should be authentic as films act as references to a particular period of time.

Filmmaker Shivadhwaj urged the government to increase the subsidy for regional films. Both commercial and artistic aspects of the films are important, he added.


Students and fans, who were eagerly awaiting to watch Rishab Shetty’s new Kannada film  `Sarkari Hiriya Prathamika Shale Kasargodu’ were left disappointed on Friday. The screening of the film was postponed when Shetty admitted to arriving at the film festival without the film’s print. Sensing the audience’s disappointment, he promised to deliver the print and have his film screened before the end of the film festival.
