‘Film world needs literary touch’

The Kannada film industry requires guidance of Kannada Sahitya Parishath more than ever for its survival and welfare, observed Karnataka Film Chamber president Basanth Kumar Patil.

Speaking on the second day of sixth Bangalore City District Kannada literary meet at Ravindra Kalaskhetra here on Saturday, Patil noted the Kannada filmdom is in a pathetic state as there is a huge gap between the industry and Sahitya Parishat.

“More number of films are being made in Kannada as compared to other languages. However, the films lack quality due to the disconnect between the industry and the writers. “There will be a renaissance in the film industry with the guidance of Kannada writers, ”he said. Outsiders coming to Bangalore should learn Kannada language. It is the duty of every Kannadiga to teach outsiders Kannada language and culture, he added.
