This the director's first short film. He has been involved with several short films, celebrity interviews and music videos before. He is one of the creative directors in the the soon to be released documentary on 'Saalu marada thimmakka'.
I have always dreamt of being a film maker. I used to not just watch films, but study them. I was in a group which always researched about film-making. I was part of creative team that did celebrity interviews for a famous Kannada Facebook page.
"Bhaasa" is my first foray into short films. It tries to touch upon a less talked about aspect leading up to a marriage. The difficulties that an Indian girl deals with when she gets married is looked with a different perspective in this short. In turn, the film tries to look at the aspect of love in a new angle.
