Director Prabu Solomon talks about his upcoming film Kumki 2, emphasizing that it’s a fresh story with no ties to the original Kumki beyond the name. Designed primarily for children, the film explores the touching relationship between a baby elephant and its mahout, focusing on growth and companionship without romantic subplots or conflict. Solomon also discusses his choice to collaborate with composer Nivas K Prasanna instead of his usual partner D Imman, aiming for a unique soundscape that fits the film’s tone. He highlights the importance of clear communication with the composer to bring his vision to life. In an industry often dominated by hyper-violent films, Solomon’s Kumki 2 offers a much-needed light-hearted and heartfelt cinematic experience.
