They have their reasons for switching to content that saves them revenue, he observes. Today, a voice-dubbed episode is bought for Rs 20,000 or Rs 25,000, and helps the investor save at least Rs 50,000,” reasons Suresha. But we started witnessing a downward trend post-demonetisation in 2016. Earlier, a channel would pay approximately Rs 1 lakh per episode. Udaya is running five new serials-all dubbed. If anybody has the resources, we could resume it,” he says.Ībout 75 serials were being shot before the first phase of lockdown was announced. “I had written content that could easily run for about two years and a half. Suresha, who was writing the script for ‘Jeevanadi’, is disappointed.

I am sure serials will resume as and when things settle down,” he says.Īctor, director and scriptwriter B Suresha, who is a partner in a company called Media House that works with about 400 artistes and technicians, says finding the money to sustain his employees is a challenge. “Television serials too will never go out of fashion. I know the channels need to make profits, so their decision must be respected,” Seetharam told Showtime.ĭescribing himself as an optimist, Seetharaman says people have discovered new modes of entertainment at home, but will flock to the cinema halls once they are open. “There were a few more episodes and I understand that the serial will be shown till June 12. His popular serial ‘Magalu Janaki’ was taken off the air after 460 episodes. Popular director T N Seetharam believes the global economic crisis has hit all industries hard. Shooting for about 25 serials is still underway, adds Shivakumar, but others peg the number lower. He has urged the government to come up with relief measures both for the channels and the cast and crew.

This will also affect the growth of Kannada language and culture,” says Shivakumar. What’s original about this? About 4,000 people in the Kannada television industry have been rendered jobless because of this decision. “Content that has already been shown and consumed elsewhere is being shown in a new form. The television industry runs on advertisements and when revenue from them slows down, the channels are forced to cut down on costs, he observes. “Dubbed content costs less but it is certainly not a long-term solution,” says S V Shivakumar, president Kannada Television Association. Some industry insiders believe it is an interim solution.
