Timely pat for debutantes

28th July 2011
To say that those who worked for 'Lights, Camera, Action' were a shy lot, would be a huge understatement. Most of the unit are newcomers – even the lead pair is mint-fresh. Their embarrassment, anxiety and excitement at having finished their work was evident to all those who had gathered to witness the music release of the film. More nervous than the rest, was music director K T Hiten. Director Gurudarshan was not far behind.

After much nudging and pushing, Gurudarshan took the mike. "I come from a software background. For me, cinema is a new field. I might have made mistakes but have completed the film with lots of dreams and hopes," he said.

Pointing to the poster of the film, he continued, "The poster may lead people to think it's a horror film. But my film is not a horror story. I can't say much here. The film will say it all," he concluded and mopped his sweaty brow. Which brought on a quiet smile to actor Hattrick Hero Shivarajkumar's face. The actor, who released the audio cd then stood up and said, "The moment Gurudarshan said he can't speak much, I got this feeling that the film will have turned out well. It is natural for a pucca director to focus more on his work than speak of it. He prefers his work to do the talking. I've seen that successful directors do not talk much but are known more through their work."

"Moreover, this film has also taken less number of days to finish. I am curious to watch it on screen now," he said and the relief on Gurudarshan's face was obvious. Music director Hiten who spoke little then said that he had used local singers in all his songs and stopped. It was evident that the team had just learnt a lesson in facing the masses.
