Female filmmakers making a mark is not a common scene in the Kannada film industry. It’s even rare to find female actors with direction skills. One woman broke this norm in the industry and debuted as an actor and director in the 2023 film Aachar & Co. We are talking about Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy. She played Suma in the film. She was also Aachar & Co’s director and co-writer. Sindhu Sreenivasa’s life has changed after the film. People now recognise her as Suma. Sindhu, who wants to continue working both as an actor and a director, spoke exclusively to News18 Kannada Digital. Sindhu is a big believer of multitasking. Her most ardent wish is to work as both an actor and a director. She shared that she wants to work with three Kannada directors: Raj B Shetty, Rakshit Shetty, and Rishab Shetty. She made Achar and Co with the inspiration of these multi-talented directors.
“As one continues acting, one gets a chance to work with different directors. You will also get a chance to learn new things from them”, she said. Sindhu likes to direct and the reason is that she wants to bring new ideas into films.
Talking about her next film Family Drama, directed by Akarsh HP, Sindhu shared that even though the film is a dark comedy, there is a new kind of theme here. That is why Sindhu has agreed to do this film.
“Everything is fresh in the film. The whole story is told in a new way. The characters designed are also new. Does your mother ever tell you to kill? No right? This is a film with so many new ideas”, she added.
Sindhu Sreenivasa says that the pre-production before shooting was very good. The unit did not waste any time during the shooting of Family Drama. Sindhu also stated, “We went in front of the camera after practising the respective scenes. This made everything easy and smooth”.
