Darshan Thoogudeepa is a very well-known face in the Kannada film industry. He is known by the name ‘Challenging Star’. He got the name for the hard work and dedication he has put in all his work so far.
Darshan, who remembers the early days very well, shared about his experience in an old interview. A director called him to his office and said that he would make Darshan as main lead. But the director asked him to change his name. Darshan thought about it 10 times before taking the decision.
“I met a big director in his office. I was playing villain roles at that time. During the conversation, the director agreed to do a film with me as the main lead. But he said that my name is not good. He asked to change my name. Even though he is a big director, I felt I had to say something,” said Darshan.
“Please don’t change. Don’t compromise for anyone even if you don’t get a chance. This is the name my parents gave me with love. So I replied to the director that I would continue as before. You will not change the name of the given character. I said thank you and left the office. After that, I left his film as villain,” the actor added.
Darshan’s recent film Kaatera has grabbed the attention of the audience with its gripping storyline and exceptional performances. Directed by Tarun Sudhir, the film is an action drama set in the rural backdrop of the 1970s and highlights the hardships of farmers and their significant impact on their lives.
Recently, the film has completed 100 days in theatres. Hence, the Kaatera team celebrated the 100-day celebration in a very simple way. Director Tarun Sudhir, music director V Harikrishna and other members of the team were present at the event. The team celebrated the success by cutting the cake and chilling with the cast and crew members.
