From Pongal of next year – the time of release of Kichcha Sudeep I would change my working style and see to it in three years I would get back what I have lost already N Kumar forecast on his future ambition.

In a short and sweet interaction MN Kumar has gone on a flash back. Here are the excerpts.

· I have learnt lessons from the days of earning Rs.75 days a month. My mother was doing vegetable business. She asked for a job to me.

· It was one Mr Rajanna gave me job in Gandhinagar.

· I was looking after the releases of small films and taking Rs.10 to 20000 loans. It was Bupendra Pisha who taught me a lesson of loyalty.

· For one of the cheques I have signed and given requested him not to present it. He called me to his office and said it is written and signed by you. When you don’t honor your own words then why should you write on the cheque and given it to me? You honor your words first and automatically the cheques of others will honored statement is in the mind of Kumar after 32 years.

· On November 18, 1981 I started my first film `Padmavyuha`. With great difficulty and Gangadhar support I was able to release but returns was zero.

· It was `Suli Gali` novel of BA Madhu from Venugopal made the film with Gangadhar. Ajay Kumar also joined us. Money was the problem.

· I asked my father to sell the land and give Rs.50000. Another 25000 was arranged and it was Rs.5000 advance for Ashoka Chakra for Sudharani and Shashikumar, it was Rs.10000 for Tiger Prabhakar, later it was Raghavendra Bhatru who helped us. Before release we sold the film and earned what is lost in `Padma Vyuha`.

· Later Police Belt, Veera Dheera and it was breaking our wings of flying from KV Raju.

· I thought of going away from industry. One year kept quiet.

· It was again ‘Alimayya’ of Arjun Sarja and Doddanna changes the graph. The highest earner of my career. There was blockade again after this film for two years.

· Films like Bombat Brothers, Lakshmi Mahalakshmi, Ambi – I made request with media to give support by not slashing the films in reviews.

· God has gifted me again to stay strong. Films followed with failures and successes.

· Another God gift for me is that there is not even one single complaint.

· I believed people and five have ditched.

· I don’t want to become Rockline and let me at least become Venkatesha – pointing to PRO Venkatesh.

· I look back at 75 rupees days and not fly with good earnings to my side.

· For Kichcha Sudeep film I have waited for four years. It is a `Mirchi` remake.

· Never bothered on dubbing rights not going for this film because it has already come in Telugu.

· I have complete trust on this highest budget movie of my career. I want to earn from Karnataka market for `Mirchi`remake he smiles.
