The
Kannada
film
Jigarthanda
, which hit screens last weekend, may have had an unexpected issue to deal with ' the torrential rains. While the film got itself a good opening, the team decided to take the initiative to combat the issue on hand. So the actors,
RK Rahul
and
P Ravi Shankar
, as well as the cinematographer Jay Anand, along with members of the crew are out on a week-long
road trip
across the state to meet and greet audiences.
Speaking from Hubballi, Rahul tells us, 'We'd been to Mandya, Mysuru and Tumakuru before reaching Hubballi. We will head to Dharwad, Belagavi, Davangere and Hassan before wrapping up the road trip. The response to the film has been amazing and interacting with the audience first-hand like this has been so much fun. It is great to see that people who have watched the film also remember and mouth dialogues from it. The rain has been a bit of a hindrance, but not as much as one would expect, as theatre owners across the state have been requesting us to continue screening the film for longer than we signed up for.'
