Many fingers in Tollywood are now pointing towards Director SS Rajamouli, the most successful director till date. Reason is that Assistant Director B. Sattenna, who worked for movies like ‘Encounter,Chinnodu and Bhadrachalam’ was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his rented house at Friends Colony in Puppalguda.
Sattenna’s wife Deepa Rani said that, her husband was bearing the high financial crunch from long time. Suicide note by Sattenna clearly points out that, a recent super hit movie based on ‘rebirth’ concept actually belonged to him. “I don’t know if I should feel proud or bad for writing the story,” the note said.
Sattenna even carried out a legal battle against that movie’s Director and Producer but he was not having enough money to bear the advocate fees. The Assistant Director was also worried about the dues in his credit card account. He claimed that a sum of Rs.70, 000 was given to an advocate which was used by the latter for some personal work. Sattenna felt that there would be no growth in the profession unless he became a film director.
No confirmation but many in Tollywood considered that ‘rebirth story’ is none other than ‘Magadheera’ and director with whom Sattenna is waging the legal battle is Director Rajamouli.
