+1964; Hayavadana, 1971; Anjumallige, 1977;
+Hittina Hunja, 1980; Nagamandala, 1986),
+where he is often considered part of a new
+post-Independence theatre movement with
+Badal Sircar, Mohan Rakesh and Vijay
+Tendulkar. Unlike the others, his plays are
+generally mythologicals informed by
+psychoanalytic symbology (Hayavadana,
+Nagamandala). Homi Bhabha fellowship for
+creative work in folk theatre (1970-2). Joined
+film as scenarist and lead actor for Samskara.
+First film as director, Vamsha Vriksha (with
+B.V. Karanth, the director of his stage plays),
+in the wake of Samskara’s success. Moved to
+Hindi film to work with Benegal as actor and
+scenarist (Nishant, 1975; Manthan, 1976, and

+Karnataka State Nataka Akademi (1976-8) and
+of the Sangeet Natak Akademi (1988-93). His
+best-known film, Kaadu, placed him, with
+Benegal, squarely within New Indian Cinema’s
+ruralism, although he also made the martial-arts
+adventure movie Ondanondu Kaladalli
+inspired by Kurosawa. Scripted his own films.
