Prakash Kumar said, “Congratulations to Naresh and his team. I have been working in the film industry since my childhood. I have been working with a lot of new young talent. Vetimaran, Atlee, A. L. I have worked with many new directors like Vijay. So far I have acted in twenty three films. Seventeen of these films have been directed by new directors. I have worked with many new actresses, many new playback singers and singers.They don’t cooperate even if they spend crores on soft drink ads, gambling ads… etc. But I have worked as a brand ambassador for games like Badminton. As such I am happy to launch this ‘Starta’ platform. I am also happy to be its brand ambassador.How to find opportunities in cinema in general? Don’t know. Do you want to see the manager? Do you want to see the directors? Or to see their assistants..? Do you want to go directly to the office? Where is it?… Many such things remain questionable till date. Be a songwriter who writes songs. Whenever you meet me even as singers..where should you look? Who should see? They keep asking that question. Instead of all this there is this platform. I very much welcome this. Because this platform has discovered talents and featured their videos. I hope this will be useful for big film companies, directors, production executives etc. to choose the talented artists they need.I hope this ‘Startda’ will be a platform that will create opportunities for talented artists. I wanted to be a part of this platform which is changing the lives of many people. So I have taken up the responsibility of being the brand ambassador of this platform. It really makes me happy. I hope that many people will get opportunities through this platform. I also try to choose and give opportunities to talent on this platform for my films. I am sure this platform will provide a good opportunity for new artistes. Thank you to everyone who came here.” said.This was followed by the screening of Abhishek Raja’s advertisement produced by the ‘Starta’ platform. All this was a source of hope for the young artists who aspire to make it in cinema.After this, a panel discussion was held in which actor Shyam Kumar, director Arunraja Kamaraj, actor Ramesh Tilak and actress Nivedita Satish participated.
