About Convention President;

Chandrashekhar, also known as Chandru, has directed about 15 Kannada movies and about 10 Tele-serials. He is also a writer (Novels and short stories) and is a columnist in Kannada weekly 'Hai Bangalore'.

He entered the filmmaking business by writing dialogues for the movie Kadina Benki. Later he directed several award winning films. A quintessential intellectual, he is one of the few auteurs of cinema who believes in cinema as a cultural and creative phenomenon. Chandrashekar has added another first in his long list of achievements as the first Kannada filmmaker to promote his film Maathaad Maathaadu Mallige at the prestigious 2007 Cannes Film Festival.

'Nooru Janmaku' is Nagathihalli Chandrashekar's latest offering. It's a love story set against the backdrop of recession, both economical and emotional. As is the ace director's wont, the film introduces Santosh as a hero for the first time and Aadarsh Balakrishna (Iqbal fame) to the Kannada screen. Nearly 40% of the film is shot in Hongkong and Macau. Santosh Rai Pathaje is behind the Super 35 camera and the entire film is processed under DI (Digital Intermediate). The film may go well with today's youth who are constantly under one moral dilemma or the other. Manomurthy has scored the music and 5 songs in the film are bound to be chart busters.

'Haddugalu', 'Nanna Preetiya Huduganige', 'Malenadina Hudugi', 'Bayaluseemeya Huduga', 'Baa Nalle Madhuchandrake', 'Chukki Chandramara Naadinalli', 'Sannidhi, Ayana', 'Akaala', 'Prema Katha Samputa', 'Valase Hakkiya Haadu', 'America! America!!' and 'Shatamaanadanchinali' are his literary works.
