Dr Rajkumar's Classics to be Revived Digitally

When Bollywood's Mughal-E-Azam was re-released a decade ago in Color and DTS sound, Kannada industry answered back with colouring Dr Rajkumar's classic, Satya Harishchandra. After that, more movies came under the color grading monitor such as Dr Raj's Nanobba Kalla, Kashinath's Anubhava, and recently, Dr Vishnuvardhan's Khaidi. As we have known, Kasturi Nivasa is also getting freshly painted in colour. Also, Dr Rajkumar's Operation Diamond Racket is also getting coloured, which holds fame for being one of the very few Bond style movies produced in Kannada. Distributor Muniraju expresses his wish in digitizing all movies of Dr Rajkumar as these are a symbol of the history and legacy of Kannada cinema. He also reiterated that digitization of classics helps in their storage for future generations, which, otherwise, would be damaging to the original film over a period of time.
