Outsiders feel at home

Just look around and check out the top names that directing films in Telugu now.

Prabhu Deva is busy with Pournami.

Lawrence has a couple waiting for him.

Suresh Krishna is giving finishing touches to Astram.

Murugadass is fully into Stalin.

Dharani is almost through with Bangaram.

Karunakaran recently had Happy.

Siddique is doing Satyam Shivam Sundarm.

P Vasu has a movie with Mohan Babu's son and Balakrishna lined up.

Selvaraghavan has a movie with Venkatesh.

Just go back and check the names of the directors. One is a Malayali and the rest are all from Tamil Nadu.

To be fair, all these directors are very good and sincere. They have also fully assimilated into the local culture.

But what happens to local talent?
