Bapu – A Wonderful Artist and a Creative Director
With the departing of Bapu we lost a Great Artist
& a very Creative Director. He is related to my wife Sudha and I happened to visit his
house and meet him once in Chennai.
Most of his movies are shot in
and around Godavari and Govern
ment of AP has decided to install life-size
statues of Bapu-Ramana on the banks of river Godavari. Mullapudi Venkataramana a
renowned writer was his friend for over 70 years and they were a fantastic
combination.
Such is his creativity
in depicting beauty that in a recent telugu film hit - Attarintiki
Daredi, the beauty of a girl is described by the lyricist as “Bapu Gari Bommo”.
His line drawings are extremely popular and are well known as “Bapu Bomma”.
I am enclosing one of his paintings
which I downloaded from the web, and also a piece from Hindu and couple of
songs from his films.
Rest in Peace Bapu, our loss is a
gain for those in Heaven
