Dear Prasanna, I think u do not know anything abt Kannada Industry. We have very good directors like any Indian language. ex Nagatihalli Chandrashekar, Sunil Kumar Desai, Yogaraj Bhat, Nagabharana, Girish Kasaravalli( 4 golden lotus awards),Girish Karnad, who can easily be compared to Maniratnam or even better. Late Puttanna Kanagal is a much better director than Maniratnam. Vishnu Vardhan is a great actor pls don't demean him. late Soundarya was a gr8 actress. Among younger genres Sudip,Darshan,Ganesh,Upendra are good actors( As good as any Tamil young actors). Hamsalekha ia a great music director. There are Mano murthy,Manohar etc. I think u r seing some wrong Kannada movies. Some good movies u can watch- Duniya, MM, Meera Raghava Madhava, Amruthadhare and judge for urself. Don't behave like a uncultured and uneducated person
