Director's Special is a 2013 Indian Kannada satire comedy film written and directed by Guruprasad. It stars a debutant Dhananjay along with Rangayana Raghu in the lead roles. Actress Pooja Gandhi made a special appearance in an item song. The storyline of the movie was also found in two more Kannada movies—Dasavala and Karodpathi. It was also reported that the concept of all these films could be traced back to the 1996 Brazilian film Segredos em Familia in which a lonely rich man hires actors to act as his family members on his birthday.
The film was announced by director Guruprasad in 2009. However, the official announcement came in August 2010, when he launched the film with the title Director's Special at Abbaiah Naidu Studios, Bangalore, in the presence of actors Raghavendra Rajkumar and V. Ravichandran.
The film's lead role was first offered to Komal Kumar who rejected the offer after hearing the story line which makes the spoof of Kannada film industry. After re-working with the script, the director approached Dhananjay, a software techie, to play the lead role. Subsequently, he signed actor Rangayana Raghu to play a prominent role.
Filming began in 2011 and was completed the same year, excluding a song sequence which was filmed in 2012. The song, an item number featured actress Pooja Gandhi in a cameo role in the song. Choreographed by Imran Sardhariya, the sequence was filmed at a studio in Bangalore.
Anoop seelin composed music for the soundtracks for the lyrics written by B. R. Lakshman Rao and Sharadasutha. The album consisting of three tracks includes an instrumental number "Mouna Raaga".
