Valavaara is a film Kannada cinema can be proud of

Kaviraj shared that he watched Valavaara upon the team’s request and described it as a refreshing experience. According to him, the film offers a rare sense of emotional calm and warmth. He noted that the narrative enhances feelings of love, humanity, and appreciation for life, adding that it reminded him of the serene, flowing rhythm of a Malenadu river. Calling Suthan Gowda a promising filmmaker, Kaviraj said the film has the potential to become a proud addition to Kannada cinema. He also expressed willingness to extend his support to the film in any way possible.

Director Suthan Gowda, while addressing the gathering, expressed gratitude for the positive industry response and audience reception the film has received. He revealed that the late Puneeth Rajkumar had appreciated the story and had initially planned to produce the film under PRK Productions. Following Puneeth’s demise, new producers stepped forward to support the project.

Calling the film a passion-driven venture, Suthan Gowda said the journey of Valavaara began in 2022 and described lyricist Kaviraj’s encouragement as invaluable. He further emphasised that he did not take remuneration for the project, stating that his primary goal was to narrate a meaningful story, even as the film remains rooted in commercial storytelling elements. He urged audiences to watch the film in theatres.
