The actress, who was voted as the Most Desirable woman of Kannada TV by Banga lore Times, has her hands full. She is best known as Radha from the popular series Radha Ramana , which is telecast on Colors Kannada. Senior technician Subramany wraps it up saying that tourism hungry countries provide great incentives for serial makers to shoot a few episodes of their shows abroad.Shwetha R Prasad is currently on a roll. In Surayoo too, a major portion of the serial was shot in Bangkok. It was to impress the audience along with being an added attraction,” says director Nagaraj Upunda. We took this opportunity to shoot in London. “There was a situation where the protagonist had to be abroad for a reason. Recently, the team of Radha Ramana had flown to Australia, for some adventure-filled episodes, and even Avalu was shot in London. “With Vidya Vinayaka being a relatively new fiction show, we are thrilled to be taking it overseas! We will always remember this as a turning-point for a lot of us, as the first ones to take Kannada television to Europe, with a promise to Kannada audiences around the world that this is just the beginning,” he adds.

Taking a cue from the immense success of its counterparts in other languages, Kannada tele ventures have risen to the occasion. While grandeur on Indian television has always been a continuous exercise, filmmakers are willing to make it a special journey, and some popular folk are giving the audience the best of what they can offer. Shooting tele ventures abroad has become a common phenomenon these days, and we delve into this trend. One such experiment is to take the shows to a new level, by shooting special sequences at international destinations, and also claiming such feats are a first in the industry. A larger reach and profitable returns has made TV the hot destination for filmmakers, who are exploring new avenues to attract the TV audience. However, all of this has witnessed a sea-change with television running parallel to the big screen. The majority would still head to theatres seeking entertainment in a grand scale, thanks to the lavish making, larger than life experiences and glimpses of favourite destinations across the globe picturised in movies. A decade ago, television soaps, especially Kannada tele-serials had a very limited audience.
