Renowned Telugu director Sukumar is celebrated not only for his unique storytelling but also for nurturing new talent within the industry. Many directors who have trained under him, such as BuchiBabu Sana, Srikanth Odela, Surya Pratap, and Karthik Dandu, have achieved success with their films. To further support emerging filmmakers, Sukumar founded his own production company, Sukumar Writings, which has been involved in numerous successful projects. Its inaugural production, Kumari 21F (2015), directed by Palnati Surya Pratap, was noted for its daring and modern narrative. The banner later backed BuchiBabu Sana’s hit film Uppena and Karthik Dandu’s mystical thriller Virupaksha, both of which received widespread acclaim.
Currently, there are rumors that Sukumar Writings is preparing to launch a spiritual sequel to Kumari 21F, tentatively named Kumari 22F. This new film will likely be directed by one of Sukumar’s long-time colleagues, continuing his legacy of empowering upcoming filmmakers. Additionally, Sukumar’s wife, Thabitha Sukumar, has fully engaged in film production. After presenting Maruti Nagar Subramanyam, she has initiated her own production company, Thabitha Sukumar Films. The upcoming film will be a joint production between both companies, reinforcing their dedication to fostering new storytellers in Telugu cinema.
