Started by Kannada lyricist Kaviraj, the team has directors and actors who have joined hands to provide oxygen concentrators to those in need
The storm seems to have passed. Karnataka has finally reached the below 5% mark when it comes to new COVID-19 cases. There seems to be sigh of relief. To reach this state, people from all walks of life came together to reach out to the needy. One such group is Usiru (Breath), which was started by noted Kannada lyricist and director Kaviraj. The man, who has written lyrics for over 2000 Kannada films, also turned director with Maduveya Mamteya Kareyole (featuring Suraj Gowda and Amulya in the lead). He says that Usiru was formed as an SOS group when the cases peaked in the State.
