Chankrapani garu is a versatile, and creative genius of indian cinema

People fight for their castes.Chakrapani& Nagi reddy are perfect examples that there are good people in Film Industry who don't care about their castes.They are very good examples.Now-a-days all Kammas support NTR family and Kapus support chiru.Leave about the masses atleast educated people should change.
Appreciate an actor because of his acting not because of his caste..

as per the article

" he rechristened himself as "Chakrapani", thanks to a suggestion by a North Indian pandi Sree Vrajanand Sharma."


Since when did a north indian "pandi" started giving suggestions.

The mistake is deeply regretted and is now corrected. Thanks for providing us the necessary feedback so that we shall be more alert and careful.

The mistake is solely mine, since I was the one who authored it and proof-read it ...simultaneously, which caused the overlook. (A part of the blame may also go to Microsoft, for it did not show me a spelling mistake. :-))

Chakrapani is great.
Praise him for his talent. May be he did all his work for money but that will not make his talent less

Bheeshma movie was produced by B.A.Subbarao under BAS banner. As per D.V Narasaraju garu it was B.A Subbarao who was so excited about NTR's make up and told Chakrapani garu and got the retort "then why do you need NTR for that role you might as well do it"
B.N Reddy bought Vauhini studios but he didn't change the name to Vijaya Studios. Yes!! every producer in movie industry is there to make money. But how many did ,what BNR & Chakrapani did to the industry?

BNR donated the entire amount of the Dadasaheb Phalke award to prime ministers' relief fund. These two gentlemen made good family entertainent, helped many artistes and retired gracefully. We have much to learn from them as people.

"Once Chakrapani presented an artiste with a box of cotton wicks (vattulu). When the surprised artiste asked why, Chakrapani clarified, "You'd then remember to pronounce Telugu properly, with vattulu (mahaapraaNaalu), whenever you see this box!" :::

I wonder what he would he would present to the heroes of today.... Forget pronoucning they cannot even speak properly

Does anyone here have any opinion on When and why did the Vijaya Pictures stop making movies with NTR ? It's unfortunate they haven't been able to create the same magic withouth NTR.

It would be great if Nachaki can write an article on NTR and Vijaya Pictures relationship.

Vijya pictures producer CHEKRAPANI is one of the father of the telugu cinima.HE present so mani great heroes for telugu industry

my name also chakrapani.I want to become famous like this great soul.I found this name for few person but which have this name that become famous so bless me.

My father, Late Pilli Rajah Rao a native of Itanagar, Tenali has named me his eldest son as Vrajanandan Rao in deep veneration for his Guru Late Sri Vrajanandan Sarma a Bihari. My father told me that Sri Vrajanandan Sarma was deeply moved when told thus and cuddled me a days baby then at Tenali Railway station on his way back home for good from Madras. My father used to tell me so many interesting things about Aluri Venkatasubbaiah (Pen Name Chakrapani) during their boyhood days. He seemed to be a good satirist and humourist. If I am correct, prior to 'Yuva' magazine he started 'Jyothi' but I dont know the reason behind dropping it. For the whole year we as youngsters use to long for Deepavali Issue of 'Yuva' magazine.
He was a terrible smoker despite single lunged as I was told. I have seen him smoking India Kings. A great man indeed.
