Soon, it was time for the CDs and cassettes to be released and Jayant Kaikini dutifully did the honours. But the writer was piqued, for people still call him a ‘young’ writer when he is already 52! Smiling, Jayant went on to say that if each film unearthed fresh talent, then “young writers” like him would not be compelled to write songs like “Anisutide yako indu...” The suave writer had made his point in his usual way.
Joining him was director Nagtihalli Chandrashekhar, who was concerned at the number of failures at the box office in recent times, and analysed the many mistakes made by new and inexperienced directors. He hoped and advised Swaraj not to make the same mistakes and turn into an ‘also-ran’. Writer Krishnegowda who has written a song for the film proclaimed that Shishira’s songs were the biodata of the composer Ajaneesh who managed a shy smile. All in all, the occasion provided another chance for the veterans to dispense some valuable advice!
