However, Gubbi Veeranna's dramas were an exception with people willing to buy tickets to watch them. Most of the actors and actresses that entered the Kannada cinema world in those days were from this drama company. Later the company opened branches in different places.

The humorist Hirannaiah was one of the persons responsible for the popularity of the Mysore branch.
