Arun Sagar’s daughter Adithi Sagar is a singer in the Kannada entertainment industry. Arun Sagar said about his children in an interview:
Her daughter Aditi has won the Chandanavan Critics Award and the Mirchi Music Award as a great singer, which makes her proud. Son Surya Sagar became the champion of a Muay Thai fighting competition in Thailand. This is very interesting. I just tried it. This is not an attempt to make a Bollywood film. But when he started looking for the source of Mallakamba, he found that it was located in Maharashtra. There are many reasons why I feel this film is suitable for Hindi. I visited Solapur and Kolhapur and did the groundwork. Once the work is completed, we’ll know if the film will make national news. “

Karnataka offered me the position of Art Director. I am also recognized as an actor. But somehow he never got the chance to become a director. Otherwise I should have become a Kannada director about 12 years ago! It has a wrestling theme. I had to show Pailwan the real situation. I’m not used to saying that if it’s just the leader’s body, the Gallati house and the red clay, and then he makes gestures, that’s hard work. So I prepared a story imagining Dunya Vijay as the hero. Rockline told Venkatesh to prepare everything needed for the story. But is he the leader of all wrestlers and the leader of the people? He doubted the film would be an exercise. The story did not continue. I gave up trying. “
