The cassette release of Hoo Anthiya, Uhoo Anthiya took a star studded dimension last Friday on Webb’s ground when a number of Kannada film stars dropped in to visit and pitched in with some dancing as well. There was Parvathamma Rajkumar and Vishnuvardhan, prominent names on the Kannada film scene who graced the occasion, Anu Prabhakar who was taking dancing tips from her mother, Gayathri Prabhakar and Jayanthi. The ever-agile Ramesh was spotted with his wife and their daughter Niharika. But it was the soon-to-be-wed filmstar couple, Malavika and Avinash who stole the show. Everyone had to have a word with them, either to congratulate them or offer some advice. Not surprising since their wedding is as close as February 26.

The audio cassette and CD of the film Hoo Anthiya, Uhoo Anthiya, directed by K. Praveen Naik has several catchy numbers. And though the function started nearly an hour late, the audience did not have time to get too disgruntled since the show began with two of the songs from the film, choreographed to perfection and shown live on stage. While one song had regular dancers, the other song had Ramesh, Anu Prabhakar and Ruchitha Prasad displaying their skill.

There are seven songs in the cassette, but only six have been used in the film. Music director for the film Karthik Raaja enthralled the audience for 10 minutes with a special solo concert.
