Bangalore, Dec 22

Golden Star Ganesh is elated after his latest release "Maleyali Jotheyali" has been lapped up by the audiences. The actor says that the film worked because they didn't compromise on the quality of the content.

"I watched people's reaction in theatres in Bangalore and I also visited theatres outside the city on Saturday. I was quite ecstatic to see positive reaction to my film. People working in the theatres told me that they never witnessed such positive and enthusiastic response to a film. I saw lot of female audience in the theatres," said Ganesh.

He visited theatres screening "Maleyali Jotheyali" in Chitradurga, Davanagere and Ranebennur. The actor is quite happy that the trade circle is also talking about the film's success.

"Many people are discussing the possible reasons behind the success of the film. What clinched the success is the quality, we did not compromise on that," said Ganesh.

"I think every one associated with the film have worked very well. Preetham Gubbi's script, Kittanna's camera work and V. Harikrishna's music were the perfect ingredients for the film," he added.

The actor is set to begin shooting for his next untitled film, to be directed by Mussanje Mahesh, from Wednesday in Mysore. He plans to visit theatres there as well.

Gubbi, who has directed "Maleyali Jotheyali", too, is happy with the response.

"It has been a pleasant experience for us wherever we are going. We have just finished visiting theatres in Chitradurga, Davanagere and Ranebennur. We found lot of women and family audience encouraging our film. I think family audience are visiting the theatres in large numbers," said Gubbi.
