But he did it anyway, and like everyone associated with the film, he attained instant stardom.
Diganth was chosen (based on his cameo in Mungaaru Male) for T. N. Seetaram's offbeat film Meera Madhava Raghava as Madhava. He played Ramya's selfish husband in the film. The film was critically praised, but did not do well commercially. His next project was with Yogaraj Bhat again for the multi-starrer film Gaalipata. This time he played one of the three lead characters, the lovable and dumb Digi. He held his own, even against actors like Ganesh and Ananth Nag. The film was a success, and Diganth's comic timing made way for his next project - the multi starrer comedy Mast Maja Madi. Digant's solo projects continued to fail - Kodlu Ramakrishna's children's film Chili Pili Hakkigalu was the latest addition to the list.
Digant keeps bagging offers, Bisile with Jennifer Kotwal, Hemant Hegde's House Full, Sihi Kanasu with Sonu are some of the major solo hero projects he will be seen in 2009.
