The Beginning - Director's Day

Guess it all began with an instinct for telling stories;

The instinct became a drive as I grew up.

Coming from a modest background, I faced so many struggles,

So many disappointments, so many battles, betrayals, bullying

Not to forget, quite a few pats, praises, encouraging words and deeds,

And, yes, I reached my goal of becoming a director!

I know I still have a long way to go -

But I am proud to be a director, creating, writing my own page,

In the annals of this colourful and lovely film industry!

Director Harinath Babu

‘Happy Director’s Day’ - Indebted as I am to them, my best wishes to all the directors who inspired me with their work and who gave me opportunities to get exposure to filmmaking.

‘Happy Director’s Day’ - My heartfelt wishes to all the director friends in the industry and would-be directors - whom I have met in person and on social media.

My fellow directors and aspiring directors:

Be what you wanna be! Fight for the stories you wanna tell! Create, write your own page!

Inspire others! Help the needy!
