January 7, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): Telugu film actor Sumanth is looking forward to being a part of more commercial ventures this year. The actor has remained absent from action for a relatively long period of time but is now back with a strong team of players for his upcoming Tollywood venture. According to reports in the media, Sumanth will soon be seen in a role that reminds us of Bollywoods Chak De India. Sumanth will be playing a cricket coach onscreen in his next.

A self proclaimed sports enthusiast, Sumanth says that he loves playing and watching football and basketball, but when you are Indian, it will not take long before cricket will catch up with you! Therefore, here was Sumanth not only enacting the role of a cricket coach but also making it a point to practice the game in a professional academy during his free time. Sumanth also sports a new look for his role of a cricket coach.

Sumanth says that he is not happy with the way his career has progressed in the span of ten years that he has been in Tollywood. While the actor has received critical acclamation, it is commercial success that he is looking for as an actor. And therefore, Sumanth says that he will henceforth take care to choose the technicians associated with his project. The actor understands that to be successful at a commercial level will require not only a good scriptwriter and actors but also a producer who knows how to market the end product and a director who knows the elements of a commercial film. We wish Sumanth the best for a bright commercial future!
