Sudha Kongara assisted ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam before she ventured on her own. She made her directorial debut with the Telugu movie Andhra Andagadu in 2008. And it was the 2016 sports drama Irudhi Suttru, Saala Khadoos in Hindi, that put her on the map. And again she tasted success with the biopic drama Soorarai Pottru, which had Suriya in the lead.
Hombale Films is basking in the worldwide success of its latest movie KGF: Chapter 2. The movie collected over Rs 134 crore on its opening day last week and emerged as the bigger ever earner in the history of Kannada cinema. The movie is still running to packed houses across the country.
