This event took place 42 years ago. It was engineered and created by the legendary journalist Y.N. Krishnamurthy (YNK). He invited me to the usual “Gund” party in his house and had also invited Girish Karnad, Prema Karanth and Gowri Sundar.
Usually YNK’s “gund” parties started at 7 O’ Clock and ended by 9 O’ Clock followed by his world famous “hitakavarehuli.” YNK started the conversation by saying that G.V. Iyer is shooting the film “Hamsageethe” and I believe the progress is fantastic and Ananth Nag is playing the role of legendary Bhairavi Venkata Subbaiah. It has been decided by all of us that you are tailor made for the role of Tipu Sultan and for your information, we leave tomorrow to Chitradurga where the shooting is taking place. The Unit car has already been arranged by Gowri Sundar and will pick you up in your house at 9 O’ Clock morning.
