Natesh Hegde's full-length Kannada feature film, 'Vaghachipani', is one of the '30 films from five continents' and first Kannada film being chosen in the Forum Main category of the 75th International Film Festival Berlin, popularly called Berlinale, scheduled from February 13 to 23.'Vaghachipani' is Hegde's second film. His first feature film, 'Pedro', much acclaimed in film festivals around the world, and produced by Rishabh Shetty, is yet to see a theatrical release in India. Even the Bengaluru International Film Festival (BIFFes) is yet to screen the film.In a statement issued by the Press Office of Berlinale, Vaghachipani is described as "Indian cinema of stylish assurance and concision".Hegde said the way he approaches a film is what probably sets his films apart from the 'template' versions that are churned out in dozens by the Kannada film industry.
