Thanks to the reality TV series, he also connects with the people of Kannada, and has several movie projects during his time in the role - some movies have actually been his own "Survey Number 45," which even attracts so many people who watch Kannada films.

His simple life and sense of the pastoral have become a defining element in the Bigg Boss franchise. The “authentic village boy” ethos that separates him from each character on the show found resonance among viewers. So, it is with the movie Survey Number 45, which is about village-based culture and farmer-related issues, where the actor is doing the same rustic vibe.

The logo of the film has captivated moviegoers. Survey Number 45 likely refers to farming life, land ownership issues, government survey figures and the social issues farmers face. Sure, Gilli Nata is absolutely going to rock this village boy persona completely in here, so this character feels real.

This film will be produced by Varanandi Cine banner and co-produced by Anand S.V. and Hanumanthareddy S.R for its story. Its best-known screenwriter is Shivakumar M. Shettihalli, who directed and wrote the movie himself and wrote two songs.

The tale of a farmer confronting struggles at home, and about the way he interacts with the land or other modes of governance; they inform. And while he inevitably runs into issues, he transcends them with wisdom, integrity and goodwill. The film is not an idiosyncratic emotional and social statement.

As the team notes, ‘Good deeds and positive intent get results, but more bad endings will do more damage.’ They find this could have a particularly strong resonance with rural viewers, especially family populations, because of the stories they tell of farmers across Karnataka and across India. 

Composed by Vishal Alap and filmed by Deepak Kumar G.K., the film, with dialogues by Chakri Kirisave, is edited by Ramarjun. Choreography of the songs was performed by Raghu R.J. Survey Number 45 takes place in Hunsur and a few villages, in which the setting and location are naturally compared with those of the rural village and the scenes.

The cast is made up of several TV and movie stars, one of them being the marquee star who plays key parts, Gilli Nata. It is further supported by Santosh, Mahanati’s Pravalika, Mouna Hasan, Kumar Arasegowda, Malathi, Manu Kallahalli, Shivanna, Junior Dwarakish, Manju, Raghavendra Kumar, Veeresh, and Hanumanthappa. And this is where the fans in the cast will be glad Gilli Nata has shed the shine of real life in a big way, and as such is finally the lead actor for good. 

Pros Film industry folks say this dude has a natural, homely look on-screen, a plus for everybody, not negative. Survey Number 45 could be a contrast to Kannada cinema’s village-based dramas with a thrilling and socially responsible narrative, an emotional rural setting, and a protagonist whose values all of us can relate to.
