But, you are essentially a director and music director. What will you do if your creative ideas clash with those of the directors with whom you are working?
This has happened many times. Some people call it interference. That is why I chose to make films on my own terms. But now, I am sticking only to acting and I give suggestions only if asked. For instance, during the making of Odahuttidavalu, the producer and director wanted me to give some suggestions, though my involvement in the script was minimal.
In the case of Neelakanta, I am only doing the music direction because its producer Bala
Muttayya wanted me to.
