every time it appears on FC videos, it gives me a high! in aug 2015 i attended a three-film (a fun, a mediocre, a flat-out masterpiece) retrospective of his in the museum of the moving image, NYC. this was the last day, he obliged, and it happened.

with true bhakti in their DNA, telugus did it in very very very organic, and inclusive ways. not belittling one community, no one’s beliefs. nothing. it’s been a silently secure industry for ages. great language, actors, writers, technicians, lyricists, singers only helped.

No offense @vivekagnihotri ji..but Telugu film industry is something where you cannot claim any credit for Indic Renaissance. TFI literally made these epics since 1940s at a scale you couldn’t even imagine..Mayabajar, Lava kusa, Bhakta kannappa, Annamayya, Ammoru, Anji..missed
