Gang war in Visakha, 3 innocent children injured

This month has brought a rare and heartwarming coincidence for Telugu cinema, with two films emerging as heartfelt tributes to two of the industry’s most revered filmmakers.

One of them is Sing Geetham, directed by the legendary Singeetam Srinivasa Rao himself at the age of 94. Produced by Nag Ashwin, the film is being seen as a celebration of the veteran filmmaker’s illustrious journey and remarkable contribution to Indian cinema. Reports suggest that Sing Geetham features references and songs from the cult classic Aditya 369, adding a nostalgic touch to the tribute.

The other film is Maa Inti Bangaram, which hit the screens today with Samantha in the lead role. Directed by Nandini Reddy and produced by Raj Nidimoru, the film lovingly pays homage to legendary filmmaker Bapu. The opening credits feature Bapu’s iconic illustrations recreated through animation, evoking fond memories among audiences.

Further enhancing the tribute, the timeless song “Mutyamanta Pasupu Mukhamanta Chaaya” from Mutyala Muggu has also been incorporated into the film, celebrating Bapu’s enduring artistic legacy.

Interestingly, though made independently, both Sing Geetham and Maa Inti Bangaram have turned into beautiful celebrations of two towering legends who left an indelible mark on Telugu cinema.
