On #QuickTakesWithBangaloreTimes Yogi lists out his five favourite directors...Siddalingaiah: His movies are realistic and stick to nativity. The character and the story which takes place, make us feel like it is happening around us. The classic example I can give is Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu. Upendra: It is real star Upendra who changed the trend in Sandalwood with his movies like A and Upendra. His movies are also very realistic which takes them closer to people. His screenplay always fascinates me. Satyajit Ray: He is like a guru to all directors. His movies like Pather Panchali, Charulatha and Aparajito are a treat to watch and teach lessons to directors like me. I call him the father of the Indian film industry. Akira Kurosawa: Japanese director Akira Kurosawa is one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of films. His films are like a big canvas. Asghar Farhadi: He is an Iranian film director. His movies like The salesman and A separation teach us many lessons. His movies reflect Iranian culture and tradition.
