While many people in the Kannada film industry and many number of Hatrick Hero Shivaraj Kumar fans are criticising director Prem for creating a big hype for Jogayya and making a film that did not match his claims, there is one big celebrity of the Kannada film industry who is supporting the beleaguered director who is even now putting a brave face. The celebrity is none other than Kannada film industry’s super star and super director Upendra.
Despite mixed reports in a section of media and the film fans, Jogayya’s collections have been steady and are not a cause of concern for the distributors yet. The film has been released in much number of theaters which allow the distributors to gain maximum share in the first week of the film’s release.
Upendra expresses concern that if such attempts by serious film makers are severely criticised, then it would certainly lead to a creative vacuum in the industry.
” I am extremely unhappy that many people are criticising Prem for unnecessarily raising the expectations barometer of the film. I don’t think it is wrong on the part of any director to give maximum hype for his film. I may not have done it for my previous film Super, but Prem has every right to do so as he has been doing this for all his films he has directed. I don’t think if Prem had not spoken highly about his film, the film would have received such a humongous opening. According to my information the film is still running well and I am happy about it. I know that as a competent performer
Shivanna has given a fantastic performance in the film. But Shivanna is a veteran and he will not disappoint the fans. We should equally say that Prem has toiled hard to make this film and his efforts are being complimented by the way people jammed the theaters in the opening week’ said Upendra.

Upendra said that for a director every other film is an experiment and he was extremely anxious when his films like Om, A, Upendra and Super were released as he was touching a road which was less traveled in the industry.
‘Prem has done something as per his concept and understanding of the subject he has selected. To degrade such strenuous efforts is not good. I think many directors today like Yogaraj Bhat, Prem, Soori, Shashaank and many other veterans and young directors in the industry are trying their level best to offer something new and innovative.
It is for us to see their films with open mind and be supportive of the experiments. I will certainly see Jogayya shortly and would like to express my frank opinion. I am sure it would be good given the fact that my favourite actor Shivanna will be giving his best.

But as far as the present, I am surely backing Prem for the efforts he has made to make this film and the way he has publicised. I am told the songs have been shot exceptionally well which is in itself a big compliment for Prem’ says Upendra.
