This is my treasure - Venu B.L.

The author of 'Kallarali Hoovagi" novel B.L.Venu (author of 57 novels) says ' this novel series had come in 'Sudha' weekly magazine long ago. After the last episode of novel the letters from readers reach the office. This was the normal practice. But in the case of 'KH' the letters started pouring in from the publication of first episode of 'Kallarali Hoovagi' for Sudha weekly magazine. This is about communal harmony subject traces back to 1772. The days of Hyder Ali and Madakari Nayaka in Chitradurga ' a soldier of two groups are not enemies as a matter of fact. Keeping this in mind I added the Hindu boy and Muslim girl love story to it and wrote the novel. It became 'thrilling' and enthralled readers. It is difficult to describe the love story of those days. The games, education, life style are also added to it says famous novelist Venu who has written more than 50 novels in which some of them have been adapted on silver screen.

When producers came forward to make this novel as film I was looking for a good interpreter of my views. It is Nagabharana who came forward and I said if you are doing this as a film I am ready to give the rights. This is 'Prema Kathe' (love story) and 'Deshaprema Kathe' (patriotic story). 13 versions have been done for this final shape. The 10 words explanation director wanted in one word. We have given birth to an elephant. This is 'Ghatti Chinna of mine' (raw gold of mine). Bharana has made this 'Abharana' (ornament) says B.L.Venu.
