Raghavendra Rao special classes for Manchu Lakshmi

After the super success of ‘Sri Ramadasu and Annamayya’ followed by super failure of ‘Pandurangadu,’ evereywhere there were casual comments that Raghavendra Rao lost his commercial touch and may not fit any more into present generation directors. But, Mohan Babu has thought in a different way and result was the product of ‘Jhummandi Naadam.’

Yes, with years of experience and 105 films to the credit (majority of successes) of Raghavendra Rao, Mohan Babu is known to have pressurized him to direct ‘Jhummandi Naadam’ not for a commercial success but to teach his son (Manoj) and daughter (Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna), a valuable lesson for their lives making them digest the values of prefessionalism and determination in his shadow.

That may be the reason why Manchu Lakshmi is known to have worked not only on budget as a producer but also on story development, music, assistant direction, costumes and even making Taapsee to understand the scenes for best output, trying to learn more from special classes of Raghava. Not to worry about the result, hope both of them might have learnt atleast 1% from Raghava’s life style.
