Megha Akshara ( born 17 May) is an Indian film director, actor and producer from the Kannada film industry. Rakshasa tantra is her debut movie as a director and producer. After having worked as an assistant director in various Kannada movies and under the tutelage of well-known director Dinesh Baboo. She wanted to direct her debut feature and wanted to explore a different way of filmmaking, so decided to take up this project which had its style of presentation and challenges of making. She had to figure out various techniques on her own to make this feature as it involved shooting very long shots of multiple characters to be in sync to look like a video call.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
