Writing the story helps me balance my roles as actor, director: Harish

Harish Raj, who has just celebrated his 25th year landmark as part of the Kannada film and TV industry, has decided to take up the task of a writer and director with the suspense thriller Pretha. “It works to my advantage when I have penned the story as I feel I can easily get into the depth of the character,” he explains. Content and viewing patterns have changed since the pandemic. I am lucky to had the opportunity to witness and be a part of so many mediums of filmmaking - from shooting on reels and negatives to working on the digital format. It is a great time for youngsters aspiring to be filmmakers today, because with social media and online channels, youngsters have many platforms to prove their mettle.”
