Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Vijay Savanur: It actually started in 2008 where I was the Head of Operations in running one of the biggest production companies of Kannada Cinema.During pre-production, responsibilities included supervising the assembly of the shooting company, recruitment of key personnel and services,and production organization for how to shoot the script and transform it into a movie. I had to plan the start of dates for everyone and everything,and monitor the budget in the lead up to the picture. Film production generally follows a rigorous schedule. HOD that is myself had to facilitate casting, location scouting, set building and decorating, offices and stages, wardrobe, props, stunts, physical and visual effects,camera, lighting, rigging, transportation, cast, crew and union relations, travel, cast and crew accommodation, contracting of legal permissions and agreements, safety and risk management, prep and shooting schedule. In short, I had to oversee the joint planning, negotiations, implementation and accounting for production.
In short I was A Line Producer who was a type of film producer who is the key manager during daily operations of a feature film, advertisement film, television film, or an episode of a TV program. who also manage the budget of a motion picture and day-to-day physical aspects of the film production. And A line producer usually works on one film at a time.
So Started the IDEA of Line Production Company called Vijay Savanur Productions.
And So the began One at a Time, During 2014 with M/s Raajkamal Films International, Chennai (Film: Utthama Villian), followed by M/s Sai Kannada Circle, Bangalore (Film: Siliconn City), Oct 2018 - Eccholine International - Asia Express and the mighty Film: Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy of M/s Konidela Production Company, Hyderabad - in 2019.

Vijay Savanur: The old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” applies here.

It takes time to let people know who you are, so stay focused on achieving your short-term goals.
