One of the senior talented actors of Kannada cinema of over three decades the ever happy looking Prayanaraja Srinath in consultation with his wife Geetha has decided to transfer the crown 'Pranayaraja' (King of lover boy roles) he had earned in 1976 to golden star Ganesh in a grand function on the new year Yugadhi day in Bangalore. I am no more 'Pranayaraja' of Kannada screen. So I am crowning this to the current king of lover boy roles golden star Ganesh said Srinath the sitting MLC of BJP when he had come to Golden star Ganesh wedding reception at Golden Palm on Sunday evening.
Another long standing announcement of our respected actor Srinath at the same function of handing over of his crown 'Pranayaraja' to Golden star Ganesh is his ambition to direct a Kannada cinema. Srinath has finalized on two scripts and his new assignment as director will be a tribute to his mentor doyen of Kannada cinema S.R.Puttanna Kanagal.
Srinath as a matter of fact wanted to take up direction in the beginning of this year. But the state assembly elections supposed to take place in May 2008 made him to defer the direction. Now the elections are likely to be held in November the way is cleared for Srinath to take up his maiden direction. His close friends are producing the film he is directing.
For the fine piece of thinking and new assignment we wish Srinath all the best.
