Director Hari Santhosh is currently helming a project called Bumper, which has Dhanveerrah in the lead. The shoot of the movie has been temporarily stopped due to COVID-19. Hari has directed popular movies like Alemari and College Kumar. The director says, “I started my career in the film industry by working as an assistnat director for Prem, for movies like Excuse Me.Till now, I have directed nearly nine films. A director should never stick to one particular genre and needs to explore various genres to prove his mettle.” On #QuickTakesWithBangaloreTimes, he talks about his favourite directors...
Dorai-Bhagavan- The popular director duo have delivered some of classical hits of the Sandalwood industry. They have directed Bond style movies and family movies like Jeevana Chaithra, which captivated the audiences.
Rajendra Singh Babu- He has directed path breaking movies like Muttina Haara which is one of my all-time favourite films. The way he constructs the visuals always amazes me.
Anurag Kashyap- Anurag is known for directing films that have realistic elements - be it Black Friday or Gangs of Wasseypur - so he is one of my inspirations.
Jamesh Cameron-He took 11 years to direct Titanic, which shows his patience and dedication. I would see him as an embodiment of patience.
Shankar -His movies, starting from Gentleman, Anniyan and Indian, along with the entertainment factor, delivers a message to society. His movies connect well with the audience.
