A new breed of stars in Tollywood have decided to take the path less travelled, and work with New Age film-makers on movies that are experimental and realistic. Realising the changing tastes of the Telugu viewers, Gen X stars have resolved to join hands with young film-makers to raise the bar for Telugu cinema.
Film-maker Sekhar Kammula, who has churned out hits with new faces and established a realistic style of cinema. “Overcoming odds has become a habit for me, but if the new-age movement has to blossom, stars should join the party,” says Sekhar Kammula.
Ram Charan Tej surprised everyone by doing a big movie Rachcha with one-film director Sampath Nandi. “Many people questioned my choice, but I found him to be full of passion and energy. It’s my attempt to encourage a new crop of directors,” he says.
Even his contemporary Naga Chaitanya shares a similar view and agreed to do a film with director Deva Khatta of Prasthanam. “I li-ked his style of wea-ving out characters and when he came up with an exciting script, I couldn’t say no,” he adds.
However, it was Allu Arjun who set a precedent by working with Krish in Vedham and set the ball rolling. Even Mahesh Babu and Venkatesh have agreed to work with promising young film-maker Srikanth Addala of Kotha Bangaru. New Age film-maker Chandra Siddharth feels the wind is blowing in the right direction. “Stars are looking beyond the routine and are offering more space to film-makers to work with new ideas and raise the bar,” he says.
