Telugu producer
Kumarbabu, who has cast a bevy of newcomers in his upcoming romantic
film "Telisi Teliyaka", strongly feels new artists need to be
encouraged.
"Through this film, we intend to
encourage new talent. Most small budget films with newcomers may not be
a blockbuster, but they succeed because of the new cast, new director
and novel subject," Kumarbabu said
The film, directed by debutant
Jayaprakash K, stars newcomers Gitanand, Mythili, Krishna, Hasini and
Sudhir. It is releasing Dec 21.
Do you always prefer working with newcomers?
"Not always. But as a producer, I feel
it's my responsibility to bring out talented and dedicated newcomers.
Not everybody can make a high budget film with a superstar, can they?
For those who aspire to make good films in a shoestring budget, most
newcomers come in handy," he added.
"Telisi Teliyaka" has cinematography by
Anand Dola and editing by Martand K. Venkatesh, while Karthik Kumar
Rodriguez has composed the music.
