If you are a Kannada-speaking person who watches television in the evenings, then the chances are that you spend much of your time watching this man in action. T N Seetharam has become a household name in Karnataka. He has written and directed television serials - Sphota, Maya Mruga, Manvanthara, Malley Billu and Muktha - that have catapulted him to fame and fortune. His courtroom drama, Muktha, has viewers sitting rivetted to their TV sets, and as an actor, he has become a familiar figure, battling it out in court.

Ironically, the black-coated lawyer who always fights for the underdog was something that Seetharam had wanted to be in real life. “I studied law, but I am more successful playing a lawyer on screen. Now, after every episode, most of the calls I get are from viewers who are lawyers and judges!” he exclaimed.

Was this the fulfilment of his personal ambition of wanting to become a successful lawyer? “Definitely, yes! I used to dream of this - me standing in court arguing an important case, with all those people watching.”

So, all those legal angles were accurate, everything technically correct. Seetharam smiled and lifted up three heavy law books in front of him. “I keep reading all these cases. Look! Ballistics and Firearms, Criminal Court Practice - everything is carefully researched.”
