Sarvantaryami, which was released last week, has been receiving encouraging responses from audiences. Directed by theatre artiste-turned-filmmaker Rangaswamy Kapanipalya, the film explores the impact of excessive mobile phone use, particularly on children, through the emotional story of a father and daughter.
The film recently caught the attention of Jnanpith award-winning writer Dr Chandrashekhara Kambara, who praised the makers for addressing an issue that affects families across generations. "The film effectively portrays the harmful effects of mobile phones, especially on children. It is a film that every family should watch," said the writer.
Encouraged by the response and Kambara's suggestion, they are also preparing to organise special screenings for school students to raise awareness about responsible mobile phone use.
Produced by Hitha R Gowda, the film stars Auto Nagaraj, Tejaswini, Myra, Amulya Narayan, Surya Praveen, Sanjana, Umesh Sakkarenadu, Umesh Pung, Prithviraj and Nagesh, among others.
