Ratnaja

Ratnaja is director and writer for Kannada movies. His debut as a director happened with the movie “Nenapirali”. It was a huge hit and won many awards in Karnataka. Ratnaja studied Mechanical Engineering at National College of Engineering in Mysore. He then got training under ‘ Rajendra Singh Babu S. V. Rajendra Singh Babu is an acclaimed screenwr >> Read More... ’ and ‘ Dinesh Baboo Among the success stories of cinematographer turne >> Read More... ’. Both are acclaimed directors. He learned under them for five years.

Ratnaja began directing in 2005. He released his first film, Nenapirali. The movie had ‘ Prem Kumar Prem Kumar is an Indian actor working in Kannada f >> Read More... ’, ‘ Varsha Born in 1995, Coorg, Karnataka, Varsha Bollamma is >> Read More... ’, and ‘ Vidhya Venkatesh Vidhya Venkatesh is an actress of Indian origin.

It won many state awards and Filmfare awards in 2005-2006. Ratnaja's directing was so fine that some people referred to him as 'Mani Ratnam' of Kannada.

Ratnaja released his next film “ Honganasu Honganasu is a Kannada-language serial on Star Suv >> Read More... ” with ' Naveen Krishna B. S. Naveen Krishna is an Indian movie director, >> Read More... ' and ‘Prem Kumar’ as the leads, in 2008. ' Hamsalekha He is an instrumentalist, dialogue and screenplay >> Read More... ' was the music director. The movie failed to live up to the audience expectations and did not go well with the critics as well. The narration was said to be weak, and the audience did not find any humor in the film.

Ratnaja soon made “Premism” on 2 April 2010. ‘Ajay Gowda’ was the producer and Hamsalekha handled the music department. It starred ' Chetan Chandra It is not an easy task to be the most sort after g >> Read More... ', ‘ Varun Varun is a Tamil film actor. His career has just s >> Read More... ’, and 'Amulya'. ' Sunil Raoh Sunil Raoh is a Kannada film actor, singer and lyr >> Read More... ' made a guest appearance. Deccan Herald reviewed it, saying it is a neat presentation. He raved Amulya's performance. It did not go well with the audience and did not do much for Ratnaja.

Ratnaja hit the headlines when his kissing photos with Amulya created a controversy, saying that he was having an affair with her. While the shoot was going on, both of them denied their involvement with each other.  He soon married Priyadarshini, his elder sister's daughter, and cleared the rumors. His wife is a Software Engineer and the marriage was a simple one. It solemnized secretly at Himad Gopalaswamy Hill without much fanfare.

The media was not allowed to cover the event. A private channel's staff camera was snatched when he tried to enter the venue. He was beaten up by Ratnaja's friends. This commotion created a huge controversy again. However, the marriage put an end to all rumors of Ratnaja marrying Amulya. She attended the wedding along with Prem Kumar, Hamsalekha's lead actor.

Ratnaja made his comeback after a gap of five years in 2016. His last films had failed at the box office, but he seemed confident about this one. “Preethiyalli Sahaja” has ‘Surya’ and ‘Aqsa Bhatt’ as the lead pair. It is a Romantic film shot in Karnataka and Kerala. The movie's script took time as well as the location selection. He again chose newcomers instead of known faces. He feels the script gave him the freedom to do so. The movie will succeed or fail is known only after watching the movie.
