Actor, director and writer, M G Srinivas, popularly called Srini, is ready with his most recent picture, Aged Monk. Srini, who’s written the story and screenplay because of his previous films — Srinivasa Kalyana and Birbal says, Aged Monk is just a rom com. The poster of this movie premiered .
“The movie begins with the divine sage, Narada, being cursed by Lord Krishna. The curse will be lifted only when he comes to earth and falls in love.” Srini says he wished to use his hand in humor as his prior picture, Birbal, was a thriller and Srinivasa Kalyana had been a family entertainer.
Old Monk celebrities Aditi Prabudeva from the direct, together with Malayalam celebrity Sudev Nair and mature celebrities like manager S Narayan, Sihi Kahi Chandru and Rajesh. “This film has been a treat as I got to work with legends and great talents.”
He’s boosting the picture on line. “Old Monk is in post-production now and there is one song shoot pending. We will wait for the lockdown to lift and then if all goes well, we will release the film.”
10 years ago, Srini started away being an RJ using Red FM, anchoring the series, Blade Raja. His passion for movies watched him lead a brief film, Only Kailsawesome, that won the Platinum Remi Award at the Houston Film Festival.
The picture also became his passport into the Kannada film business. “I showed Upendra the film as I was seeking a chance to act in films. When he saw the film, he asked me to direct his film, Topiwala, which he had written. That was how my journey began in the Kannada film industry.” Later Topiwala,” Srini chose a fracture since he wished to give acting a go.
Srini is yet to choose whether to discharge Aged Monk in theaters or on the internet. “We will watch how the situation develops and take a call. Any film that has a good content will do well on OTT or in a theatre. Big star films will not have the same effect as they do in a theatre, if they are released online.”
