Provide subsidy for quality films in Tulu: Shivadwaj

February 19, 2012

Mangalore, February 19: Actor and film director Shivadwaj opined that government should provide subsidy for quality films in Tulu too.

Speaking at a discussion on “Rise and fall of Tulu Cinema” organised by the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy, at its office on Saturday evening, he said that quality films help in making the maximum of the market available for Tulu films.

Mr. Shivadwaj, who has just finished shooting for the new Tulu film Bangarada Kural which is set to be released in May, opined that Tulu film industry had indeed a good potential.

He also suggested that regional film festivals can be organised to generate awareness about Tulu, Konkani and Kodava films. “Tulu language is popular because of the humour-filled theatre and films. Our films will slowly get rights to screen films across satellite channels. Tulu programmes have been getting good TRPs in Mumbai and West Asia”, he said.

Film producer T.A. Srinivas expressed the need for setting up post-production facilities in the district, which will help in giving quality films.

Renowned Tulu theatre personality Vijaykumar Kodialbail, actors Subash Chandra Padiwal and K N Tailor and Academy chief Umanath A Kotyan also spoke on the occasion.
