I have seen several movies of Kannada superstar Puneeth rajkumar, including Milana. When I received message from Amps, I wasted no time in rushing downstairs and guess what ? I got the chance to see Puneeth real close. I was so happy with the experience. He had come to Manyatha, for an ad shot.
I was so happy that it adds up to the list of film actors, I have seen for real. The list now includes Narendra Prasad and Bollywood actors such as John Abraham, Asin, Jacqueline fernandez, Akshay Kumar and now Puneeth Rajkumar as well.

Seeing RED camera for the first time
But the best part of the experience was in getting to talk to the technician, who was handling the camera. He told me that, they were using a Red 5 camera. He said they also use Arri Alexa. As expected, in front of the lens was the, filters, probably some ND type. They were carrying two lens : 16 – 35 for close up shots and 150 – 450. The camera was attached to a crane.
All in all, it was a beautiful experience.
