Thus becoming first directors to make James Bond style movies in Kannada.[3] Then the director duo went on directing great movies like Kasturi Nivasa, Eradu Kanasu, Bayalu dhari, Gaali Mathu, Chandayana Gombe, Hosa Belaku, Benkiya Bale, Jeevana Chaitra and more bond style movies such as Goa dalli C.I.D 999, Operation Jackpot C.I.D 999 and Operation diamond racket.

After the death of Dorairaj, Bhagavan has stayed away from silverscreen. The last film the duo directed was Mangalya Bhandana in 1993. He with Dorairaj has directed 30 films of Dr Rajkumar. This showed the mutual understanding between them and he was also close to Dr Raj's family.
