‘Kinnara Bale’ is also produced by PHV Vishwanath. Manjunath the old timer is the cameraman. The first schedule of shooting will take place at Bhatkal. ‘I need the slum background and fishermen community’ is the reason to shoot in Bhatkal says PHV. Baby Madhusri and Baby Shreya are playing the lead roles and there not much of work for grey haired persons.

In the last four years PHV had directed some documentaries and banked on a comfortable living on agriculture. I had offers to direct from Gandhinagar but my comfort zone in life made me to make a choice of my own subject says Vishwanath.
