What it takes to go beyond Gandhinagar for a Kannada film professional? The willingness to look beyond their territory and the confidence to face the odds out there. If the conventional media is for local exposure, Internet is the most powerful and effective medium to go beyond local! It's a good sign of development to see today's younger generation and tech-savvy filmmakers looking at leveraging the advantage of effective Internet marketing. One of the talented, multifaceted stars Mayur Patel takes the pride to become the first person in Kannada filmdom to launch an exclusive personal website of his - www.mayurpatel.net This comprehensive website developed by viggy.com team was officially launched on Valentine's Day (February 14) by filmmaker, director Indrajith Lankesh.

During the launch of www.mayurpatel.net website all the producers of Mayur's films were present and wish him the success. KFCC President Gangaraju was the chief guest. Director Indrajith Lankesh said, "Our filmmakers are still going with conventional promotions. They should come out of that and leverage the benefits of technology like Internet marketing" Of course, he was absolutely right. If anyone is looking at filmmaking as a commercial business, its time for them to realize the scope and potentiality of this market, and invest in right medium like Internet. Like in other languages, if Kannada filmmakers too understand the effectiveness of 'right' kind of Internet promotion, Kannada films reaching outside audience is not too far!
