'Madhyantara' is about the process of film-making. The details in the film are the ones that Shenoy observed over a period of time during his association with the movies in the last two decades, a release here said.
Shenoy, a native of Dakshina Kannada region who now lives in Delhi, has worked as a cinematographer, producer and director. Sunil Borkar has handled the camera, while Shashidhar Adapa has done the production design. Suresh Urs has edited the film and the music is composed by Sidhant Mathur.

Congress misleading public on National Herald case, matter still in court: BJP
New Delhi (PTI): The BJP on Wednesday accused the Congress of running misleading propaganda over the trial court's decision in the National Herald case and said the court refused to take cognisance of the complaint but did not set aside the case.
The case is still pending trial in the Delhi High Court, and the trial court in its order on Tuesday said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) can continue its investigation, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia asserted.
"The court yesterday (Tuesday) said that since it is a private complaint and no FIR has been lodged, it will not take cognizance of it. It's a technical matter. The court also said that ED can continue its investigation further. The court did not set it aside," Bhatia told a press conference at the BJP headquarters here
"Its trial is still going on. Sonia Gandhi is still Accused Number-1 and Rahul Gandhi Accused Number-2," the BJP spokesperson said, alleging, "The Gandhi family thrives on deceit, deception, and propaganda."
