He was named after the famous king by director Puttanna Kanagal and Dr. Vishnuvardhana is proving that he is indeed the uncrowned king of Kannada films. One of the most versatile, stylish and popular actors in Sandalwood, Dr.Vishnu is going to start work on his 200th film very soon and he has selected S. Narayan after considering several names to direct this ground-breaking film.
The experience how he finalized the director for his 200th film itself was dramatic. There was a discussion at his home to decide who would be the best person to direct Dr. Vishnu’s 200th film when S. Narayan entered the room. As soon as he saw Narayan, Dr. Vishnu said that the director for his 200th film has arrived. It was later discovered that Dr. Vishnu himself had asked Narayan to come at that time.
S. Narayan is the director who had the privilege of directing Dr. Rajkumar and his sons Shivraj, Puneeth and Raghavendra. Now the great responsibility of directing Dr. Vishnu’s 200th film is on his shoulders; given the kind of professional he is, it can be expected that the film will indeed create history.
Dr. Vishnu has completed three and half decades in films. Master, for which he is currently shooting, is his 198th film and his 199th film will be Nane Bere Nanna Styleye Bere.
