Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
H. K. Ananth Rao's Sudha serial was so popular that readers demanded the film adaptation.
This film cemented Ambareesh's 'Rebel Star' persona that dominated Kannada cinema for three decades. The Hindi remake Meri Aawaz Suno starring Jeetendra couldn't capture the original's grim tone.
