There are four notable directors in Sandalwood who have managed to create a distinct fan following for themselves, these four include Yograj Bhat, Suri, Prem and Guruprasad. Out of the four, the director with the least number of films is Guruprasad.This does not change the amount of hype his films create however few in number they are.

Guruprasad's Matha and Suri’s Duniya released at the same time. Now, Suri's Kaddipudi is ready for release, while Guru's Director's Special is almost there as well. This is Guru's third film and it has newcomer Dhananjaya playing the lead.

Director's Special will be releasing in 50 theatres across Karnataka which is relatively less when compared to his other releases but his fans are excited nonetheless. Sandalwood surely has a lot of faith in this director, because Dhanajaya has already been offered to sign three other films even before the release of this one.
