The 1981 Kannada film Etu Eduretu is partially based on real-life events. The core of the movie is inspired by historical folklore regarding a formidable sorcerer or Warlock who allegedly terrorized a rural Indian village with black magic between 1832 and 1910.
Hollywood (2002) is the first Kannada movie based on the subject of robotics.
