This is one of the honest interviews I've seen in recent times. Kudos to Karthik for being grounded in reality when films are all about hyping up false expectations and all about being as vague as possible.
Great job as usual by Vivek. For being professional and informed. I hope to expect much more such content from you.

Thanks
With Dr Puneeth Rajkumar gone I don't see any future in KFI,it's almost dead. We needed a visionary star like him nd unfortunately we hv none. No one can come close to wat he did to our industry in such short span. His support to freshers inspite of being Biggest superstar made him a special one.
Stars doin 1 film in 3/4 yrs doesn't help our growth in long term...we need visionaries nd Appu stood apart .
For KRG their most profitable venture in theatrical run was Jackie re release collected 5cr wch none of their produced films did...this is wat we are missing,the Power.
Yeah yeah, KFI is gone, why almost dead, it is dead only. Tell that na
Kannada industry is not dependent on any one actor bro, there is a good & bad time, wait for some time there will be good movies releasing and new talents are coming, KFI have good future don't worry.
@@movieworld-jd9wz it's freshers nd new talents that make industry grow for example in Malayalam u can see the support they get. Big stars doing one film in 3/4 yrs doesn't help in long term...we need someone like Appu to back the new talents nd support them.
nah we got yash and the shetty stars
The early demise of Shankar Nag sir and Appu sir is the setback for KFI. It’s very rare to find superstars with great vision.
Annnoooooo Nan Nim Abhimaniiiiiiiiiiiiii Annnoooooooooo 💥💥💥JAI KG✊
Beautiful interview. Clarity of thought and vision Karthik has is refreshing!!!
Waiting for #KKThefilm #KingKiccha ❤❤
26:57 to 28:44 about KICCHA Boss ❤
hmm ok?.But there are many other important things which he has spoken about industry..
Nice interview and Kartik makes sense for most of the part
Wonderful interview.
🫡 knowledge and matured person Kartik.
your facts, analysis, ground work, plans, everything proves how much you loves the films and working on grow kannada films.
One day KRG will become top best industry in Kannada and also in international level.🎉
Sir katera movies super ❤❤❤ and I like you d Boss proud kannada actor ❤❤❤❤
Good job KV.
Put timestamp please bro
KFI should take some inspiration from Malayalam film industry.....rather than focusing on hero oriented mass film and we can make 5 good films in that budget.
Yes and For that KFI need to focus more on writers. Our audience also doesn't know any writer name while in Malayalam audience can easily say ohh this is the writer so movie could be good one. That's the difference
Sumar small budget films Bantu est movies nodudre elu nivu Blink , shakahaari yala bant
@@kushal7416 yest film nodakke aguthe guruve..duddu bedva..Kelavu release agodu gothu agalla..Firstu affordable ticket rates idri..Single screen ulisi..alli nominable pricege cinema nodabahudu..max 80-100 Rs itre..alteast varshakke ondastu cinemana obne nodabahudu..innufamily yella nodbekandre neene lekka haku.adru mele bari multiplex ulkondre ,alli yestu cinema hogi nodakke agathe minimum 250 rs ticket.?
👏🏼🙌🏼
We Kannada Industry Is Badly Missing PUNEETH RAJKUMAR BOSS (Appu) and its so Evident ❤️🩹 #missingappu
Kfi need tier 2 tier 3 stars who can at least do business of 10-50cr. So that industry can survive. Only good films could do it. Always depending on tier 1 stars could be danger for the industry.
👍
Without the legend called puneeth rajkumar sandalwood is sinking ship day by day, nobody can match the smiling might regarding taking forward sandalwood.
Kaatera did way well in Karnataka against salaar and dunki.
Sudeep's writing is very bad and it doesn't matter if he is technically good or bad .. this endorsement and celebration of mediocrity is what is hampering kannada industry
Big production houses are behind 1000 crore films or launching nepo kids. This is how they are capitalising
Darshan is really trying hard to make two movies in a year.
I see none after him trying to do this.
And all those movies make less collection than his.
Why is there is a need for capitalizing on other film success. Don't you have confidence that your own product will do good on its own. Every movie cannot be large and infact they are fluke .
I think KGF success killed Kannada industry.
Haha.. in a way.. yes.. directors are clueless what type of films to make. In other words prashant Neel himself will fail if he keeps making movies in the same template like kgf.
Good movies take time
Too early to judge...
KFI will come up with good product....
Just have some patience
Yes Puneet Sir was exceptional and it is big loss to KFI but Yash , Rishab and many new talents can carry the legacy of KFI forward...
🎉
ofcourse but then atleast there should be 6 movie releases of big stars [2 months once if taken as average]to keep industry moving..there should be sync between actors and their team so that you ensure we have some big releases every year constantly if other one cant make it ..This will inturn save theatres [mostly single screen] which inturn will allow smaller films to sustain by releasing them in most of single screen bare minimum..if by chance small films bomb, theatre owners can recover it from bigger movie releases.You just cant say good movies take time and escape.if every actor says the samething you will not have any releases of big star in the same year...
Do you want to make big stars film to succeed or you want small films to survive
