    shivarajkumar image

    `ನಾನು ಪಾರ್ವತಿ' ಚಿತ್ರಲೋಕ ಪ್ರಕಾಶನದ, ಖ್ಯಾತ ಸಾಹಿತಿ ಜೋಗಿ ಅವರು ಬರೆದಿರುವ ಕೃತಿ. ಪಾರ್ವತಮ್ಮನವರೇ ಹೇಳಿಕೊಂಡ ಅವರ ಬದುಕಿನ ಸವಾಲುಗಳು, ಸಂಕಟಗಳ ಕುರಿತ ಕಥೆ. ಅದು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಹೆಣ್ಣುಮಗಳಿಗೂ ಸ್ಫೂರ್ತಿಯಾಗಬಲ್ಲ ಕಥೆ. ಪುಸ್ತಕವನ್ನೋದಿದ ಶಿವರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್, ತಮ್ಮ ತಾಯಿಯ ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೆಲವು ಮುಖಗಳನ್ನು ತೆರೆದಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಓವರ್ ಟು ಶಿವರಾಜ್ ಕುಮಾರ್.

    ಇಂದು ನಾವು ಏನಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೋ, ಅದು ಆ ತಾಯಿ ನಮಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟ ಭಿಕ್ಷೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಪ್ಪಾಜಿ, ವರದಣ್ಣ, ಪಾರ್ವತಮ್ಮನವರ ಕುಟುಂಬದವರು ಹೀಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಇದ್ದರು. ಅವರೆಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ಪ್ರೀತಿಯಿಂದಲೇ ನಿಭಾಯಿಸಿದ್ದು ಅಮ್ಮ. ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ಒಂದುಗೂಡಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ ಅನ್ನೋದನ್ನು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇ ಅಮ್ಮ.

    ಇನ್ನು ನಮ್ಮ ವಿಚಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಬಂದರೆ, ಅಪ್ಪು ಬಾಲ್ಯದಿಂದಲೇ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ಆಗಿಬಿಟ್ಟ. ನನ್ನ ವಿಚಾರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಮ್ಮ ಎಷ್ಟು ಕೇರ್ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಂಡರೆ, ನಾನು ಆರಂಭದಿಂದಲೇ ಎಲ್ಲ ರೀತಿಯ ಪಾತ್ರಗಳ ಅನುಭವವನ್ನೂ ಪಡೆದೆ. ಆನಂದ್‍ನ ಕಾಲೇಜ್ ಬಾಯ್, ಮನ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿದ ಹುಡುಗಿಯ ಹಳ್ಳಿ ಹುಡುಗ, ಶಿವ ಮೆಚ್ಚಿದ ಕಣ್ಣಪ್ಪನ ಭಕ್ತ, ಇನ್ಸ್‍ಪೆಕ್ಟರ್ ವಿಕ್ರಂನ ಕಾಮಿಡಿ.. ಹೀಗೆ ನನ್ನ ವೃತ್ತಿ ಜೀವನದ ಆರಂಭದ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ನೀಡಿ ಬದುಕು ರೂಪಿಸಿದ ಅಮ್ಮ, ನಾನು ಪಕ್ವ ಎನಿಸಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಕೊಟ್ಟರು. ಅದು ಅವರು ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿದ ರೀತಿ. ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಟ್ಟ ಅಂದಿನ ಪಾಠಗಳೇ ಇಂದಿಗೂ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಮುನ್ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿವೆ.

    ಅವರು ಕೇವಲ ನಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯವರಿಗಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಚಿತ್ರರಂಗದ ಹಲವರಿಗೆ ತಾಯಿಯೇ ಆಗಿದ್ದರು ಎಂದು ತಾಯಿಯೊಂದಿಗಿನ ತಮ್ಮ ಹಳೆಯ ದಿನಗಳನ್ನು ನೆನಪಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಶಿವ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್.

    `ನಾನು ಪಾರ್ವತಿ' ಕೃತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬ ವೃತ್ತಿಶೀಲ ಹೆಣ್ಣು ಮಗಳು ಎದುರಿಸಿದ ಸವಾಲುಗಳಿವೆ. ಬ್ಯುಸಿನೆಸ್ ಮ್ಯಾನೇಜ್‍ಮೆಂಟ್ ಸೂತ್ರಗಳೂ ಇವೆ. ಒಬ್ಬ ತಾಯಿಯ ಅಂತಃಕರಣವೂ ಇದೆ. ಕಲೆ, ಸಂಸ್ಕøತಿ, ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶವೂ ಇದೆ. ಪಾರ್ವತಮ್ಮ ರಾಜ್‍ಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರ ಜೀವನ ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಧನೆ, ಕಥೆಯಷ್ಟೇ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಸ್ಫೂರ್ತಿಯೂ ಹೌದು.

  • Parvathamma Rajkumar Column 10

    parvathamma rajkumar image

    Costumes are important than story....

    Today’s generation directors pay less attention towards script. They mainly concentrate on costumes,dancers, fights. They have become competitive, all they think is other movie dance sequence has 50 dancers, i should put 100 dancers in my movie, if that movie has fight master, i should bring somebody else in my movie.

    In Rajkumar’s entire film history there was only one dance master - Upupi Jayram; only one fight master – Y.Shivayya. My kids always praise Rajkumar’s film fights. We say that the fight scenes comes out well because there is only one fight scene. There was no dupe for Rajkumar. He was doing everything. In those days, whenever there was dupe the hero and dupe never used to visit sets together. First hero used to finish his portion and then dupe used to finish his, later they mix all these portions. Whenever u watch movie you will be awed by it.

    Today everybody is aware of how a movie is made. The film industry which was closed, has been opened. No matter what the fight scene is people say “we know it was dupe who did this fight”. Henceforth, today’s artist should work hard more than those days. There should be physical pain in work they do.

    We realized how big the Hubbali Market was during the filming of “Girikanye” when we had to put an office set for the movie. Hubbali people are crazy over arts and talents. There is no point in searching for the X- factor in movie and it is not necessary either. A good script and a suitable actor to the role will do the magic. Everybody should have the exuberance to give a good movie. That exuberance was present in Rajkumar.

    I was adamant for only one thing and that was to cast only kannada artists in my movies. I have always given chance to kannada artists. It is us who should give a chance to them. Artists like Vajramuni, Toogudep, Shanimahadevappa, Bhatti Mahadevappa, Nagappa, who firmly believe and trust in Rajkumar’s company. There were artists who left Theatre Company and joined film industry. Is it right to do injustice to them?

    I have always signified one thing in my entire life, never bring a government employee or any business employee into film industry. They might ask for less remuneration but they will also get a salary for other business. But the artists completely believe this industry. Give them a chance. If there is a villain role give a chance to M P Shankar or Togudeep Srinivas.I must admit that Sangeetham Srinivas is great. Whenever we recommend any artist to him, he always obliged. He had the power to change any artist image. It was him who made Togudeep Srinivas do comedy role in “HaaluJeenu”. Rajkumar too never declined for casting any actor. All that mattered to him was movie turning out good.

  • Parvathamma Rajkumar Column 11

    parvathamma rajkumar image

    This was not the matter with Heroines. The number of girls entering to kannada films was very less.They were shy to enter films. But we always have worked with Kannada heroines when ever we could. Actress like Kalpana, Jayamala, Manjula (etc) was introduced to industry by us.

    In a way, we were the reason for Arthi to enter film industry. In my children’s films, actress like Sudharani, Anu, Prema, Asharani, Now, Ramya, Rakshitha, Malashree was introduced to industry from our banner. We had helped Malashree grow in such a way that, more than hero she was important in films. We can still give chance to many heroines.

    There is a taboo that film industry is bad- corrupted and because of that many of them are frantic to enter the industry. I have always been adamant to cast Kannadiga’s in our movies. We always asked producers to give a chance to artists like Jayashree, Papamma, Shanthamma etc. Due to my adamency most of them are angry on me. There were few people who even said “why does she say like that?, does she own the industry?” i used to reply “yes, industry is mine, now listen to whatever i say.” 

    I believe,If you are not that adamant, nothing good can happen in industry. Even now, whenever they increased remuneration to non Kannada artists i scold them. I ask them why do they spend lakhs and lakhs on non Kannandiga artists, why don’t u give a chance to Kannada artists. People get angry for that also.

    Till “Shabdavedi” movie i used to select costumes for my heroines. Saritha, Geetha, Madhavi, nobody used to object me. They used to ask for extra costumes, if required. We used to purchase them. Rajkumar was very much disciplined towards costumes.

    We visited the shooting set of Girikanye. A night before the shooting, i asked Rajkumar to see the costumes, he said there is nothing to see. I persuaded him to see the costumes once; when he saw the costumes he immediately got angry. He called the boy and asked “for owner’s role you brought such low budget costume and for a servant role which i am acting, you have purchased such costly costume.” He asked the boy to change the costume. Next day after a lot of searching, we bought a banyan and lungi . That costume was liked and appreciated by everyone.

     

  • Parvathamma Rajkumar Column 12

    parvathamma rajkumar image

    I am the sculptor of my own success. This is the line which i keep repeating myself. I believe that for anybody’s success, one has to work hard. It’s a lie if we expect for anyone to come and help us.

    If you have to climb, you will climb. If you fall down you are the one who will fall down. Casteism wont help too. Rajkumar has always followed one principle. He never indulged himself in any functions related to his own caste. If anybody asked him which caste does he belong, he always replied 'I am Kalavidara Jaathi' (artiste caste)"

    Why should we visit only our caste functions? Everybody watches our movies, irrespective of caste. We want everyone. We belong to everyone. We either attend everyone’s function or don’t attend at all.You should now really think how Rajkumar has survived in this industry for 51 years. Rajkumar has done so many good things;  It is not right to trumpet ourselves. But when we stand out we should not ignore all the things which he has done in past 51 years.

    Just imagine how many producers have survived because of him, how many artists, technicians have entered film industry because of him. It is not easy to rise from ashes to a huge storng pillar. If a film has turned out as box office failure, then he has provided a call sheet for different movie and strives so much, does anyone know that? Look at present day artist, one day he takes remuneration of Rs.25,000 and next day he asks for 2 lakhs, later 4 lakhs then 8 lakhs and so on. The reason for this hike is producers.

    There is no unity between producers, few of them will be there and few here. During those days, a producer used to invest his own money, or by receiving money from distributor, and hence the producer used to have the responsibility to finish the movie and handover it to distributor, but now, the money is invested by unknown resources and producer is less responsible towards the movie. It’s more like we are tying our own hands.Everybody should do their job efficiently. The work has to run smoothly, even though producer has taken up distributorship. Few days ago, Nannayya said that “a vegetable vendor has also become a producer”, and i completely agree to it. You bring money from somewhere, invest excess amount in films, and give how much ever money is being asked as payment.

    On top of all these you make movie which includes rowdism, bloodshed or slaughtering. A producer has lost his identity since the introduction of all these. This is what I feel. An industry is all about ups and downs. Everything may get back normal one day. We are the reason for industry being like this, then and now, if a producer is determined then our industry can grow into unbreakable height. We all are surviving because of this industry.

    But one of my worst fear is that, nobody is afraid anymore. I feel the industry has come on roads. Every movie won’t be success. This is happening in other language industry as well and not only in our industry.

    My son Raghavendra Rajkumar was on his way to airport he got phone calls that they are waiting for Tuesday. Incidentally this Tuesday - 6 th November 2005 is my birthday. Raghu was wondering about how is everyone aware of my birthday date. Then they said they are waiting for the column written by me. Director Bhargava, Phani Ramachandra, Pattabhiram and others are reading this column without fail.

    Chitraloka wishes Smt.Parvathamma Rajkumar on the occasion of her birthday.

  • Parvathamma Rajkumar Column 30 - Raj Death Was Ichcha Marana

    parvathamma rajkumar image

    He knew that his life is coming to an end. He liked it and left all of us. It is not just death but, Ichcha Marana – self determined death. Last three days he was not taking his food properly. He was not even talking to us properly. There was a big difference in his attitudes which I failed to recognize. Being with him always it could not become possible for me to identify his moves. If I think now I find meaning for each of his movements. It should have struck to me then. But the almighty did not give me so much of intelligence.

    My husband's Yoga Guru Naiker says he had made preparations for his death a month ago. It is possible to leave the breath according to the wish. He knew that powerful knowledge. He had learnt it from his Guru. According to it he felt his work is over on earth. It is enough he felt and left.

    That day was Wednesday. The developments on that hold a mirror to so many. He made me to get up early on that day. He sent me to physiotherapy. Normally I come before 11.30 after physiotherapy. When everyone inquired about Dr.Raj health I said he is alright and very fine in the hospital I visited. After coming to house sitting with him for some time was the usual practice. I did not take my breakfast on that day. My sugar was low. Let me eat my breakfast I decided and he was sitting in his place.

    Now I remember what he had told. Had it come to my intelligence it would have been very good. I was angry about the 'Upma' breakfast made on that day. He turned towards me and told whatever the Yajamani (owner of the house) ask for it get it prepared and give it. He gave a look to me that was quite different. I did not understand the motive behind that look.

    Before that he was very jolly and chatting with everyone in the house. He sung 12 devotional songs. He gave entertainment for everyone on that day. He took photographs with available family members. He was extremely happy.

    Later on When I looked at him he was watching television and taking rest. Suddenly there was big variation in his breath. When I went and saw everything was over. The tipf head (Neththi) was very warm. Eyes were not moving. Then we took him to hospital. He was given shock treatment by Dr.Ramana Rao. When the shock treatment was given and oxygen was pumped the eyes did not made movement. Normally when the eye balls move then it is ok but his eye balls were standstill.

    Now If I think about all this every frame comes to my mind. Fifteen days ago he spoke to me a lot. I have done injustice to you Parvathi he said, you excuse me he said. I have troubled your mind very much he quipped.

    I am nobody to excuse you. I should ask excuse with you. When we do the service for you there is benefit for us. When you are fine then we will be also fine explained. That is true. Because of him we have the identity. There is nothing wrong in you when Veerappan took you to the forest. For the pain underwent from it you are not responsible I told him. Yet the sorrows and misery had not gone from him. Immediately he reacted and said everyone claim that the mother who gave birth to Rajkumar is great. My mother gave birth to one Rajkumar but you have given birth to three Rajkumar he patted me. You have also given birth to two female. You are great mother he appreciated me. He told all this very emotionally. Like how the mother hen protects the chickens you have safeguarded all of us he remarked. On that night we both became emotional and cried remembering the past.

    Before this one episode comes to my memory. Shivanna showed interest in 'Bhakta Kumbara'. He was reciting the songs by hearting and it brought very good shine in my husband's face. Manava Dehavu...., Elli Mareyadhe..., Eke Dooradhe Vittala….. Shivanna was singing non stop with good emotions. After that I thought we should do this film again. I explained my intention to Dr.Raj. He immediately said you produce the film. I questioned him as to why he says you produce, you do the film. It is all of us to produce the film I told him. For that he told me that I am the actual producer and made me to forget that issue of 'you produce'.

    Sometime back he said once he wants to die before I die. For children mother is important he said. The intimacy for children is towards the mother, you should live more number of years than me he expressed.

    When Veerappan came to touch my husband I was stubborn to this. I faced him very strongly. I became very angry on Veerappan. How can you take him? You have to bring my husband back in the same situation. Do not think you have won by kidnapping my husband I replied to Veerappan. When my husband was in the forest I humbly requested him to release him. Then Veerappan had told with Govindaraju (one of the hostages) that he had not seen a woman like Parvathamma. She told me not to touch her husband here and there. I was startled with her attitudes.

    Now my husband has gone to a place from where I cannot bring him back. That is God. The almighty would not yield to any prayers.
