Srinidhi Bengaluru and Dheekshith Shetty on ‘Video’: It’s a found-footage horror thriller for a new-age audience
Filmmaker Srinidhi Bengaluru and actor Dheekshith Shetty are attempting to revive the found-footage horror genre in Kannada cinema with their new film, 'Video'. The team hopes to build on the legacy of the 2013 hit '6-5=2' while offering a fresh experience for modern audiences.
Why it matters
The film represents a creative risk in a regional industry currently facing low success rates, testing audience appetite for experimental storytelling.
At a time when the Kannada film industry’s success rate is at an all-time low, it takes considerable guts to experiment with content. Filmmaker Srinidhi Bengaluru and actor-producer Dheekshith Shetty , however, are confident that their attempt will pay off.
For young cinephiles who hold director Srinidhi in high regard for his new-age storytelling, another unconventional attempt from him hardly comes as a surprise. After all, this is the filmmaker who began with a time-travel film ( Blink, 2024) and followed it up with a fantasy web series ( Jerax ) about a Xerox machine that clones humans. His latest, the found-footage horror Video , once again ventures into unfamiliar territory.
