Choreographer-turned-director
Tara
is
confident
that
her
Telugu
directorial
debut
Barrister
Shankar
Narayana
will
showcase
the
acting
prowess
of
Rajkumar,
who
is
making
a
comeback
to
the
industry
after
several
years.
Rajkumar,
a
popular
television
actor,
was
last
seen
on
the
big
screen
in
2008
Telugu
romantic-drama
Prema
Kosam.
In
an
interview
to
IANS,
Tara
said,
"People
believe
he
is
only
fit
for
television,
but
all
those
will
be
proven
wrong
when
my
film
hits
the
screens.
I'm
sure
this
film
will
be
a
perfect
comeback
for
him.
He
plays
a
street
smart
lawyer
in
the
film
and
gets
to
don
different
avatars."
The
director
further
said,
"It's
extremely
challenging
to
migrate
from
television
to
cinema.
It
takes
years
or
one
Blockbuster
film.
Raj
has
starred
in
a
handful
of
films,
but
unfortunately
in
roles
that
didn't
show
his
potential.
With
his
role
in
my
film,
audiences
will
get
to
see
his
hidden
potential."
Tara
says
direction
is
tougher
than
choreographing.
"I
have
learnt
dance
from
a
very
young
age,
and
therefore
teaching
it
to
others
wasn't
much
of
a
challenge.
But,
direction
is
tough
because
I'm
not
an
expert
in
it.
I'm
just
learning
on
the
basis
of
trial
and
error
and
by
watching
work
of
other
directors," she
added.
Barrister
Shankar
Narayana,
which
is
produced
by
Rajkumar,
also
features
Alangrita,
Aliya
Trivedi,
AV
Subramanyam,
Hema
and
Apoorva
in
important
roles.
