Noted writer Jayanth Kaikini lauding the visual strength and ability of Soori wondered on his ‘Idi and Bidi’. Is he fascinated with ‘Bidi’ and not going for ‘Idi’ was Kaikini worry. In this film he has looked at ‘Idi’ and that’s why I gave a peck says JK.

Very frankly Jayanth Kaikini called upon directors to stop writing stories (neevu Kathe Hoseyodannu Nillisi). It is daridra, namage Nave shave madikonda Haage. Soori has ‘Vega and AVega’. He is like caught in traffic jam. He should look for stories like how in Tamil, Malayalam and Marathi makers do.

On the distribution system for the first time JK opined that something should be done to save good quality Kannada films. The revolution in distribution system also should happen with novel ideas from youths he felt.
