Srinivas M G Profile

m g srinivas, topiwala upendra

 When producer K.P.Srikanth announced that he will be making a film Topiwala starring Upendra with a new director called Srinivas, many eyebrows were raised. For the many people who were only focused only on the developments in commercial films, Srinivas was an unknown name. But for many people in the media circles and performing arts like theatre, M.G. Srinivas was not a new name. He had made a name as a Radio Jackie and was known as RJ Srini. He had also acted in a few films as an actor including in “Just Math Mathnalli’, “Chirru’ and “Prem Kahani’.

His biggest achievement is that his 45 minute Simply Kailawesome, a Kannada film , has won the prestigious Platinum Remi Award at the 44th Annual WorldFest-Houston Independent International Film Festival (indie film fest). The film is produced by Well known Kannada film producer S.V. Babu.

The Platinum Remi Award is inspired by the creative genius of the great artist, Frederic Remington, famous for his paintings and sculptures of the Old American West.
Srinivas says it was a matter of prestige that Simply Kailawesome is the first Kannada film to get the award. The film is inspired by A.S. Murthy’s classic play, ‘Typical Arathi’.
Simply Kailwesome has four female characters from four of Kailasam’s major plays. All the four are being played by Chaya Singh while Srinivas himself is Kailasam. The man behind the camera is Shreesha Kuduvalli while Shri has edited the film. B.J. Bhart has scored the music.

Srinivas has picked Shreesha Kuduvalli as the cinemetographer of Topiwala. Hari Krishna will be the music director of this film.
