Preethsona - songs shooting called off

Ravichandran - a trendsetter in Kannada filmdom created many landmarks here, be it his crazy sets or exotic locations or strange characterizations. He looks for something new every time, in every departments of filmmaking. His latest development is in the field of music direction. Malla that has his tunes gave a big boost to his creativity. Yes in all aspect he is a trendsetter. He is not stopping at that. He is now busy sculpting his brother Balaji's career in Kannada filmdom. Ravichandran is producing and directing a film `Preethsona' having his brother Balaji in the lead. Last week their troupe went to Mauritius to shoot three songs but unfortunately they came back without completing it on schedule as their cinematographer Sitharam met with an accident. While shooting in an island on two speedboats, Sitharam's boat met with an accident, throwing him up in the air. You can imagine the impact of collision that literally thrown Sitharam with his camera fracturing his leg badly. So they had to windup completing only one and half song.

We all know how his fans received the songs of Malla that has turned out as a super hit movie. Yet another good news to them - he is composing music for Darshan's new film Ayya. During the launch of song recording he was chatting with us. "At last film industry is accepting me as a music director" he started his words. Though he got the State Award for the music of Ekangi, both the music and the film failed to mark in the box office. Seetharam - cinematographer

He regrets the failure of that film even today. He got five Sate Awards for that film! "Probably looking at my condition as a producer, director of that film, award committee must have given those awards to me" he laughs loudly. This shows how positive he is in accepting his failure. Success or failure never changed his innate personality. After Malla, he is confident about all his future projects. "'Preethsona' will be another Premaloka and I have to create one more such film" Ravichandran admits confidently. After the release of Preethsona, a new film of Ravichandran is expected to launch with title 'Mallikarjuna'. Its will be a fantasy based film narrated on the sentiment between mother and son. So stay tuned for another 'Prema Loka'!
