The artists should believe in the work and not lose heart. I am the standing example for everyone as it took 18 years for me to see the comfort again in life stated Dwarakish for an emotional address made by veteran actor Ashwathnarayan seeking for work to livelihood. Tamil super star Rajanikanth came to my son's sacred thread ceremony in a cycle. What is he today? It is not easy to achieve his spot. I made a film called 'Gangva' with Rajanikanth. The life of filmdom is filled with 'Maaya'. Hard work should be believed and continuous efforts should go on informed Dwarakish.

Another veteran on the dais KSL Swamee urged for giving comfort to artists and technicians like Ashwathnarayan by evolving a fund. KFCC President KV Chandrasekhar immediately reacted and stated the welfare fund for such needy persons of the Industry. It is a job they are asking with self respect. The system of other states should be followed here for the depressed artists and technicians KSL Swamee stressed again.
