ith no preparation and in his impromptu speech Jogi as he is affectionately known (you know Jo meaning his wife name Jothi and Gi means Girish Rao his actual name) gave an admirable lecture and touched on a few topics. There was concern in his speech. There was truth and honesty in his address.

It is well known that unless a person is with talent Jogi does not allow him to come near to him. He will ward off him or her saying ‘Gha’ like how his favorite YNK used to do.

Such a temperament man with workaholic nature and adding talent plus novelty to his work Jogi has found the talent and hard work in his ‘Akkana Maga’ Santosha. It will be ‘Bettadashtu (meaning Giri) Santosha when the film of his nephew ‘Gombegala Love’ is accepted by media and Prekshaka Maha Prabhu! At the beginning of coming to cinema one would not know whether it is ‘Akarshane or Anuraaga’ – attraction or affection! Working with director Soori, Santosh prepared subject and he wanted me to hear the story. I did not agree. Out of eight calls I used to receive one. Films of ‘Prayathna and Formula’ are seen around. It is only films made with new ‘Prayathna’ bring in change. Santosh struggled hard for two years and he has a ‘kanneerina kathe’ that is not appropriate stated Jogi. For the new entries we have seen they are uprooted mercilessly. It is only in this cinema industry like that. It is not like in other platforms. For sustaining the struggle has come up from Santosh. When one Mr Deepak spoke on the advertisements of ‘Gombagala Love’ I thought that this boy is on a new route. He has kept up his ‘Talme’ to do good creative work.

However the cynosure at the audio release of ‘Gombegala Love’ was Jogi. Before releasing the audio Jogi compared the waiting to that of water that comes from solar water heater. Jogi further drawing his attention on audio release compared it to ‘Munji-Upanayana’ done before marriage. It is custom that happens and it is a must. Like that the audio release of a film also happens. Killing this piracy is what not happening – Jogi went to ‘Lahari Velu’ topic suddenly. I wish the real meaning of my nephew ‘Santosha’ happens from this film. That will definitely have meaning to ‘Akka Patta Sankatakke’ opined Jogi in his cool and sensible address.

After hearing to the speech of Jogi one thing strike the mind. For every newcomer this type of boost up is requir
