At the conclusion of the trailer for the forthcoming Kannada political comedy Kapata Nataka Sutradhari, the issue was whether the guy trapped beneath the sculpture would be rescued, or the sculpture itself. The central figure in this predicament is a Muslim who, at a historic Hindu temple, participated in a ceremony with devotees that involved crawling beneath a stone sculpture of an elephant as a means of fulfilling his desire. The only issue was that he was unable to fit beneath the elephant because of his size.

Kapata Nataka Sutradhari is about how society complicates the issue at hand

In a movie, a Hindu-Muslim conflict is a difficult topic to cover, and it might divide viewers. However, director-actor Dhiraj MV clarifies that Kapata Nataka Sutradhari is not about a clash between Hindus and Muslims. "Yes, my protagonist is a Muslim man, and yes, he is trapped beneath a statue in a historic Hindu temple, but what happens next is how society responds to this situation. The issue is made more complicated by the actions of everyone from police officers to temple officials, politicians, the media, and social media influencers, each of whom is motivated by their own self-centered interests, he claims.

Despite the fact that the subject matter is inherently serious, Dhiraj admits that the therapy is not. "The trailer gives the opposite impression, but it's a light, humorous tale that doesn't focus on any specific religion. But I promise that viewers will leave the theater with a smile on their face. He further states that the goal is not to be biased or offend anyone's feelings.

At a time when propaganda films that lean heavily towards one particular agenda are highly favoured, Dhiraj and his team are looking at proving that a movie that balances all the viewpoints may also win. He adds that the situation in the temple is only one element of the narrative and that there’s a lot more than meets the eye. The film, which was meant to be in theatres on June 19 and was postponed, will now release on July 4, 2025.
