'There are 36 newcomers in Keka'

As usual, you are introducing new talent -- 28 of them this time?

No, there are 36 newcomers in Keka. The script needs new faces because of the new nature of the screenplay so, I have introduced new people once again. If I take a known face with an image and experiment, people will not like it.

I never had any reasons for introducing newcomers. I did it in Chitram for purely economic reasons. No star is ready to act with a new director and that too a cinematographer-turned-director.

Is finding talent a hard and challenging process?

It's okay. I don't find it tough. I am used to it and I enjoy it.

Why are you keeping the names of the lead pair a secret?

The girl is not named officially by her family because of astrological reasons. She is called Bubbly. P C [Sreeram] Sir calls her Bubbles. Now I have named her Ishana. The boy has a long name and he is now called Raja.
