Hemanth Hegde, director and lead actor of the upcoming Kannada film Nimbe Huli, is offering a challenge to viewers. Quite like what director Ram Gopal Varma had done for the viewers of his horror film — offering prize money to the individual who could watch the film all alone in the theatre without getting scared — Hemanth has promised an award, for a similar challenge.
“I am challenging people to watch the film along with the rest of the audience at a theatre, but not laugh even once. We will have devices fixed to register even the minutest laughter on the individuals who take up the challenge. Any person who can understand the film and manages to sit through it without laughing even once will get to win `10,000,” says Hemanth.
