Perspective
Ravi Srivatsa worked as a dialogue writer and associate director in many films during the second half of the 1990s. He made his directorial debut with Ee Rajeev Gandhi Alla, which was produced in 2002 and had a delayed release in 2007.[1] His next film was Deadly Soma (2005) starring Aditya, which was based on the underworld don of the same name who was shot dead in Bangalore in the 1990s.[2][3] The film made pre-release headlines due to its censor troubles and was a box office success. His next film Ganda Hendathi (2006), the remake of Murder (2004) released to mixed reviews and was labeled 'the most provocative Kannada film' by one reviewer.[4][5] He made several gangster-themed films: Madesha (2008) and Deadly-2 (2010), the latter of which is a sequel to Deadly Soma (2005).[6][7] His next film Dashamukha (2012) was inspired by 12 Angry Men (1957), Ek Ruka Hua Faisla (1986) and the Kannada play Aa Mukhagalu.[8] His latest film Tiger Galli (2017) is based on a real incident that happened in Chennai. Srivatsa cast Sathish Ninasam in the lead after he was impressed with his role in Madesha (2008).[9] He worked on a sequel to Deadly-2 titled Deadly-3 in 2021, which is yet to be released.[10]
