Kashinatha Hathwara (8 May 1951 – 18 January 2018)^{[citation needed]} was an Indian actor and filmmaker who primarily worked in Kannada films. He also worked in Bollywood remakes of his films. With a career spanning over three decades, Kashinath acted in or directed over 40 films, usually comedies. He is credited for introducing new talents such as actor Upendra,^[1] musician V. Manohar,^[2] and director Sunil Kumar Desai, alongside many other technicians who went on to become successful in the Kannada film industry.^[3]^[4]

Making his debut as a director through the comedy-drama film Aparoopada Athithigalu (1976), Kashinath came into the limelight with the suspense thriller Aparichita (1978). He made his acting debut through the film Anubhava (1984). The same film was remade and directed by him in Hindi as Anubhav (1986), making it his first entry in Bollywood. Some of his other successful films include Anantana Avantara (1989), Avale Nanna Hendthi (1988), Ajagajantara (1991) and Hendathi Endare Heegarabeku (1995).

His films generally touched subjects which were often regarded as taboo in Indian society. He was also popular for his double entendre dialogues in his films.

Early life

Kashinath was born on 8 May 1951 into a middle-class family in Markod, a village near Kundapura, Udupi District.^[5] His father G. Vasudeva Rao was a businessman and a trader and mother Saraswathi a homemaker.^[5] He was the second son of his parents followed by his elder brother Sathyanarayana and his younger brothers are Dattatreya, Ravi, and Umapathi along with their younger sister Gayathri. He spent his childhood in his birthplace and moved to Bangalore with his father.^[6]

Career

Early career (1975–1990)

During his graduation in Bangalore, Kashinath made a short film titled Slip, "in the year 1971 or 1972".^[5] This encouraged him to enroll himself into a filmmaking troupe called "Aseema" along with contemporary filmmaker-actor and longtime acquaintance, Suresh Heblikar. In 1976, he borrowed money from his father and co-produced with P.R. Ramadas for his directorial debut Aparoopada Athitigalu, a comedy-drama.^{[citation needed]} His second directorial film Aparichita in 1978 was a suspense thriller starring Suresh Heblikar, M. V. Vasudeva Rao, Sundar Krishna Urs and Shoba brought him wide appreciation and recognition. The film paved the way for many other thriller films and was considered to be the "trendsetter" in Kannada cinema.^{[citation needed]}

The success of the project made him direct its Hindi version titled as Be-Shaque in 1981, starring Mithun Chakraborty. After a brief hiatus, in 1984, he took up acting career by casting himself in the lead role for the film Anubhava. The film was widely acclaimed and was considered bold during its time of release.^[7] The film had its music composed by L. Vaidyanathan with whom he shared a long-lasting rapport and also introduced lyricist-music director V. Manohar through the song "Hodeya Doora O Jothegara". The huge success of the film got him the offer to direct its Hindi remake titled as Anubhav (1986) starring Shekhar Suman and Padmini Kolhapure.^{[citation needed]}

In Malayalam, the same film was dubbed as Aadhyate Anubhavam (1987). The film found multiple time releases and reached the classic status.^{[citation needed]} Following this, he took up acting assignments offered by other directors and starred in some successful films such as Mithileya Seetheyaru (1988), Avale Nanna Hendthi (1988), Sura Sundaranga (1989), Manmatha Raja (1989) and Avane Nanna Ganda (1989).

His third directorial film Anamika (1987) could not repeat the success of his previous film. However, his next directed film Anantana Avantara (1989) was met with high popularity and success. His socially entertaining romantic films such as Avale Nanna Hendthi (1988) opposite Bhavya, Avane Nanna Ganda (1989) co-starring Sudharani and Chapala Chennigaraya (1990) opposite Kalpana were both commercial and critical success. This back to back success made Kashinath one of the most sought-after actors in the 1980s era.

Later career (1993–2017)

In 1991, he co-produced, directed and acted in the film Ajagajantara. The film costarred Anjana and Srilekha and had music composed by Hamsalekha with the lyrics written by two of his proteges, Upendra and V. Manohar. The comedy-drama film met with commercial success and the same screenplay was adapted in the 1997 released Hindi film Judaai, starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Urmila Matondkar.

After this, barring few films, many films directed, produced or acted by him were commercial failures. In the 1990s, he worked with many popular directors such as H. R. Bhargava, Om Sai Prakash, P. H. Vishwanath, B. Ramamurthy, T. S. Nagabharana and Upendra. In 1993, he acted as himself in the horror-thriller film Shhh directed by Upendra which was a success in the box office.^{[citation needed]}

In 1995, he acted and directed the film Hendthi Endare Heegirabeku alongside Akshata which was moderately successful. His subsequent films such as Baduku Jataka Bandi (1997), Hello Yama (1998), Chor Guru Chandal Sishya (1998), Rambhe Urvashi Menake (1999) and Maava Maava Maduve Mado (2000) failed to impress the box office. His next directorial Meese Hottha Gandasige Demandappo Demandu (1999) based on the popular song line of his previous hit Avale Nanna Hendthi was a failure as well. In 2004, he starred in three films which included Aaha Nanna Thangi Maduve in his direction.^{[citation needed]}

In 2007, he directed and acted in the film Appacchi which became his last directorial until his death in 2018. Later he acted in couple of films in supporting roles such as 12AM Madhyarathri (2012) along with his son Abhimanyu.^[8]

Kashinath made a comeback in 2016 through Prashant Raj's Zoom starring Ganesh by playing a key supporting role.^[9] This was followed up by his acting as one of the jail inmates in Dwarakish Chitra's 50th project Chowka in 2017.^[10]

The songs "Alladsu Alladsu" and "Appa I Love You" featuring him in the film Chowka were widely acclaimed and topped the charts.^[11]^[12] His final onscreen appearance in Olu Muniswamy was released in 25 May 2018.^[13]

He also gifted many new artists to Kannada Film Industry. Some of them are Actor-Director Upendra, Director Murali Mohan and Music Director V. Manohar.
