will feature
fresh faces. “I’m certain of
one thing,” said Mahendra, “that
it will feature the music director who has
scored for all my films, the maestro, Ilayaraja.”
Before he gets his film institute rolling,
director Balu Mahendra wants to make a few
more movies. It was fellow director, Rajeshwar,
who persuaded Mahendra to consider putting
off his plans for the film institute and
come back to filmmaking. Rajeshwar felt
that once Mahendra got the film institute
off the ground, he would be so involved
with teaching and running the institute,
it would leave him with little time to make
movies. And this would be a terrible loss,
observed Rajeshwar, since a new movie by
Mahendra is always something to look forward
to.
