soon after ending her association with putta gowri maduve in 2019 television actress ranjani raghavan told us in an interview that she wasnt looking to act on small screen anymore instead she had decided to pen scripts and focus on production and thats how ishta devathe was made which is probably why fans were pleasantly surprised when they saw promos of a new serial called kannadathi with ranjani as its leading lady but what led to this change of mind i meant every word i said when i quit putta gowri and did not intend to act on television for a while but when the same channel called and asked me to take a look at the script of a new show they were coming out with i was overwhelmed usually on the tv circuit when you quit a successful show you dont often get to return to the same channel but in my case the channel folk welcomed me back with open arms and that left me feeling so gratified and when i heard the script of kannadathi my resolve to return to acting was further strengthened says ranjani as the title suggests kannadathi is about taking pride in the states language and furthering the love for it ive always championed for the cause of kannada so its only befitting to be a part of a serial thats named after the language i play a kannada teacher who never loses the opportunity to correct peoples grammar and pronunciation which is also how im in real life she explains this daily soap will not be about atthesose jagala it is positive and enriching and that is the reason i loved the subject adds the actor kannadathi will go on air in a month and it is being backed by milana prakash so like putta gowri is she prepared for another saga i think the audience has got far more clever now if they get addicted theyre aware that the serials will be dragged for years and they dont want that so the makers are also now aware that the format has to be crisp and thoughtprovoking ranjani sums up
