The Kushalnagar Madikeri road is Ok but not great(the road had been patched last month) you can consider this route but I dont have the recent update on the Bhagamandala - Panathur road. the Madikeri Bagamandala road is good (I drove 3 weeks ago on this streatch)
Best suggestion would be the Mysore - Guldalpet - Sulthan Bathery - Manathawadi - Irritty - Payyanur road in case your driving in the night. But be careful not to get stuck at muthanga checkpost among the truks and the busses. Try reaching around 12~3am at this point to avoid the traffic. Quote:

Via gonikopal, we don't required to touch Virajpet. This is the shortest route with only 340km, but the problem is the Perumbadi - Makkutta sector is not at all driveable. 3 Months back I drove via this road, and took 2.30hrs to cover the 17kms stretch.
Considering the Shiradi Ghat condition and as you suggested I am avoiding Hasan route. So taking my usual route Mysore - Guldalpet - Sulthan Bathery - Manathawadi - Irritty - Payyanur which is 430Km.
Thanks
