The Kannada industry must learn to respect its writers: Manvitha

Manvitha Kamath is back from a refreshing holiday in the woods of Wayanad and is now on work mode. The actor will return to the big screen after four years since her last film Tagaru with the film Bad that is being directed by PC Shekhar. Talking about her first look from the film that is out today, she says, “This outing feels different for various reasons and on top of it being that I’ve pulled off a halli hudugi (village girl’s) role, something which has eluded me so far.”


Right in the midst of the ongoing strike by Hollywood writers, Manvitha tells us, “This situation is a reality across the world. The Kannada industry also must learn to respect its writers. Everyone is more concerned about post-production work than pre-production. I think that’s a far more important phase. And to me, it’s a good story by a competent writer that actually makes a film.”
