Behind cinema frame

Mr N Prakash is from a middleclass family and youngest son of his family. In college days, he started making short films and doing his best to bring it to the audience.

He always liked to make films starting from the skits that he did from his childhood days in his  apartment functions and started making short films in college days from which he learned the craft, and  then he participated in naya iyakkunar show and won the runner up prize which helped him to get his debut movie.

He haven't worked as an assistant director before but he got to work with director Vetrimaran while he was participating in nalaya iyakkunar, his comments and feedbacks greatly helped him to improve his direction

He has his interest in action comedy and mass entertaining action films but he also likes to try different types of genres in his upcoming movies.

 Building strong relationships with actors:

Talking about scripts and building conversations, he said that other than work the personal bonding we develop with actors help a lot but still we need to be patient and bring out the best from actors. It comes with experience, there is no special technique just be yourself and friendly with the actors and they will return the favour. 

Challenging scene :

There was a scene which involved demolishing an atm machine in his debut movie "Kudimahaan" and it involves lot of crowd and rain effect , to make things worse they can't switch on mic due to the permission issue of shooting location. As he planned things well in advance and visited the site couple of times and his assistants did a great work they were able to tackle the difficulties they faced.

The film was released on 17 March 2023 and got rave reviews from critics and audience, as it is Well made Comedy entertainment movie.

Rejection and criticism:

To cope with rejection and negative feedback he said, "Its part of the parcel i don't break my head with rejection i will simply move ahead and work towards my next opportunity."

He always welcomes criticism and hear their thoughts out and revisit them and if its really something that he need to work on and improve then he will work on it and will try to improve it.

 Handling stress and maintaining focus:

Mr Sree Kumar is from a middle-class background and began his career in the tech industry. Along the way, he discovered a love for writing as he was always been captivated by stories, whether through listening or reading , which led him to share his short stories and novels on blogs and eventually on platforms like Amazon. Through this writing venture, he was fortunate enough to transition into writing for movies. As he have another job which handles his finances so he just have to balance the two jobs, it's tough but his dream helps him to manage the time.

He is drawn to a writing style that thrives on larger-than-life, exaggerated realities, while centering on fundamental emotions and simple philosophies. Cinema, in his view, serves as the perfect platform for this approach. It's a medium that excels at portraying heightened realities, effectively conveying realistic ideas, all while preserving the enchantment of visual storytelling.

He wants to write in all genres even if they are outside of his comfort zone but he would do with extreme caution as this is an industry which involves more money a simple misstep can cost him a fortune, so he would collaborate with folks who are strong in the genres if he is not very comfortable in it.

Unique perspective on writing:

Humanity , liberation, self realisation are some of the themes are he most interested in exploring through his writing as these issues around it are such a powerful medium like cinema that can be used to deliver these themes efficiently. 

Certainly there are a few projects that hold a special place in his heart. They provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment as he work on them. Each of these projects revolves around the themes of liberation and self-realization, interwoven within a fantastical fictional world. This blend brings a distinct depth and resonance to the narratives. 

 Favorite film:

Django Unchained is actually one of his all-time favourite. As he said, "The storytelling is straightforward and relatable, making it a hit with a wide audience. But what really nails it is how they've shaped the characters and scenes - steering clear of clichés and making us genuinely root for the crew. The dialogue, spot-on written, cranks up the tension in all the right spots. And that dinner scene? It's like a masterclass in how characters, story, and talkin' all come together for one heck of a mesmerizing ride."

Building connections in  film industry:

He always value quality more than quantity. He says, "It's actually pretty easy in cinema industry to create connection but to get good reliable connections is a challenge, i think as long as you love your job and be true to yourself and others the network keeps building by itself, we just have to be open for new opportunities with optimism."

Handle rejection:

Nepotism is based on favouritism granted to relatives in various fields like business, politics, entertainment, sports, religion and other activities. In the film industry, it deters a fair playing and undermines the film industry's reputation.

It creates cover that falls heavily on an individual pursuing their passion on acting without any connections to famous actors or actresses. This creates an huge impact on people who are working really hard to make themselves stand out with their talent and dedication.

Actors, producers and directors with influential background such as Saif Ali Khan, Ratanlal Bhagatram Choudary and Shankar Shanmugam can easily secure roles and projects, but individuals without such connections find themselves constantly struggling to even get noticed. Hard work, skills, and creativity often bounce back because of nepotism, leaving them to fight every time for a role or project they need.

It has become common for talented individuals to question their abilities when they see others succeeding based on their advantages and influences rather than earning it by themselves.

In the Indian film industry, Nepotism is often refers to influential individuals with family connections of established actors, directors, or producers. Embracing an aspect of the film industry's relationship with nepotism reveals a perspective that goes beyond the controversy often connected with it.

Nepotism in the film industry can have adverse impacts on the children of actors and actresses. Even though it is true that family connections might provide a way for entry into the film industry for that person, it's equally important to recognize their knowledge, experience, and passion for the industry.

The second generation often have early exposure to the workings of the industry, gaining insights that can shape their career paths from a young age as they get guidance from experienced family members, allowing them to take a step forward into the industry more smoothly. However, it also results in them growing up in the shadow of their famous parents or relatives.

Expectations from the outside world will be high, and in any case of misjudgment on the childen's part will be magnified. Additionally, the perception that their success is solely due to their connections rather than their own talent and hard work will be a very difficult challenge to overcome. This can lead to self-doubt of their talent and a constant need to prove themselves to the world.
