The monthly guest at Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy ‘Belli Hejje’ at Badami House on last Saturday, the yesteryears actress Pratima Devi mother of famous director SV Rajendra Singh Babu and Vijayalakshmi Singh stressed the need for quality and nativity in Kannada film.

The films to watch are numbered today by the family audience. The reason for this lack of good quality and precise making focusing on the land and language in Kannada films says Pratima Devi wife of well known producer Shanker Singh.

An actress of over 80 films to her credit Pratima Devi hailed from cinema family and knew all areas of film making from close quarters abstained from cinema after ‘Rama Shama Bhama’ of Ramesh Aravind. She intends to bring more quality films in the home banner Mahatma Pictures. I always vouch for family entertainers she disclosed. Pratima Devi films photo exhibition was inaugurated prior the hour long chat at ‘Belli Hejje’.
