Director Prabu Solomon Breaks Conventions with 'Kumki 2'

In the upcoming weeks, acclaimed filmmaker Prabu Solomon is set to release his latest project, 'Kumki 2'. Contrary to expectations, the film is not a sequel in the traditional sense, but rather a fresh story that revolves around another kumki, or trained elephant.

While the previous 'Kumki' film was known for its soothing emotional elements and romantic undertones, Prabu Solomon has designed 'Kumki 2' to connect with a wider audience, particularly children. The director has intentionally avoided any elements of romance, blood, or violence, instead focusing on themes of love, friendship, and compassion.

The film's narrative centers around the unconditional bond between a young boy and an elephant calf. Viewers will witness the journey of how the two characters meet, and whether their friendship can withstand the test of time. To capture this unique dynamic, the production team shot the elephant calf's scenes in Thailand, while the larger elephant sequences were filmed in the lush landscapes of Kerala.

Prabu Solomon's commitment to authenticity is evident, as he opted to shoot in real towns with the necessary permissions, rather than relying on CGI. Additionally, the director brought on composer Nivas K Prasanna to create a fresh musical perspective for the film, departing from his previous collaborators.

With its heartwarming premise and the director's focus on creating a family-friendly experience, 'Kumki 2' promises to be a unique cinematic offering that breaks away from conventional storytelling.
