Rishi's points are so real. The struggle for new talent is immense, especially with audio labels. Thaman's gesture is heartwarming. Hope this starts a trend of established artists guiding newcomers.

Respect for Thaman Anna! He's at the peak of his career with 'The Raja Saab' coming up, yet he has the time and heart to help a beginner. This is the culture we need in Indian cinema. All the best to both!

As someone who works in the creative field, I can relate to the "low trust" issue Rishi mentioned. It's a global problem for newcomers. Thaman's public offer of support is a powerful message to the entire industry.

While this is a beautiful gesture, it also highlights a systemic issue. Why is the entry barrier so high? Film associations and unions should have formal mentorship programs, not just rely on individual kindness.

"Gayam viluva telsinavadu ey sayam chestadu" – that Telugu proverb in the article says it all! Only those who have been through the grind can truly understand. Big up to Thaman! 👏 Now eagerly waiting for The Raja Saab music!
