What did Prashanth Neel learn from Ugramm?

The director shared that he was disappointed when his second directorial KGF starring Yash became a huge success as he wanted his first "dream movie" to reach the heights. He added that Ugramm was the change-maker in the Kannada cinema as it urged other directors to change the usual pattern of filmmaking.
