Kannada movie 'Director is special' is on a full speed.

Guruprasad rejects a ‘record’ writing offer to stick to direction

As if to augment the fact that there is a perpetual lack of writers in Sandalwood, Guruprasad took up the task of writing dialogues for two films; Hudugaru and I am Sorry, Matte Banni Preetisona.  This was after directing two successful films,  Matha and Yeddelu Manjunatha. In fact, he put on hold his film, Director's Special, which he was also part producing, to complete the dialogue assignments.

Now, in what is seen as an “unbelievable offer”, he has been asked to write dialogues and script for a film by a top producer for a remuneration of Rs 25 lakh. This is more than what even top directors are getting paid. The highest for a story paid so far in Kannada is Rs 8 lakh to Janardhan Maharshi. Right on the heels of this incredible offer comes another shocker that Guruprasad has rejected and stuck to direction for now. Shooting for his new film will be launched on June 8.

His dialogues for Hudugaru have won applause. I Am Sorry is yet to release. Guruprasad, though confirming the offer, refused to name the producer. “I am also a producer of Director's Special. There is no way I can further delay it. That is the reason I have said ‘no’ to writing assignments that have come after Hudugaru. The big offer was too hefty that even I was surprised more than a bit,” he said.
