As an ambassador of Karnataka and Kannada language at the global level the leading lady Smt Sudha Murthy, wife of NR Narayana Murthy of Infosys foundation took part in the shooting of ‘Prarthane’ a Kannada film, on Wednesday.

No one from the media was allowed inside the shoot at the KGS club for more than six hours due to security reasons when Smt Sudha Murthy was facing the camera at KGS Club in Cubbon Park, Bangalore.

Smt Sudha Murthy came to the shooting spot at 11 am and participated in the shooting till 4 pm. She was decked with grand looking green saree, with jasmine flowers and traditional ‘Kumkum’ taking central attraction. The portion of Smt Sudha Murthy for ‘Prarthane’ is on the screen for 22 minutes says journalist turned director Sadashiva Shenoy.

Smt Sudha Murthy resembles the ‘Voice of Karnataka’ in the film ‘Prarthane’. Quoting UN report that there are nearly 12000 languages around the world facing extinction, Sadashiva Shenoy was stunned when Kannada was also one among it. This made him give a solid message in support of the Kannada language.

”At the global level from Karnataka, the Kannada speaking Smt Sudha Murthy is the right ambassador to promote my thought that Kannada should flourish. I invited the honorable lady”, informed Shenoy. In the first round of discussion Shenoy says he came to know the volumes of knowledge on the history of Karnataka and Kannada from the leading lady.

‘Prarthane’ Kannada film produced by Harish and a debut for highly respected journalist Sadashiva Shenoy is focusing many vital issues that are not dealt seriously so far in the film media.

‘Prarthane’ has to complete three days shoot featuring Prakash Raj. Ananthnag, BC Patil, Pavitra Lokesh, Ashok and master Sachin, who are part of the the cast. Veer Samarth has scored the music for one prayer song.
