The legendary director has written a letter to Tanikella, to watch that beautiful flick. For your information, Bapu uses neither mobile phone nor internet, landline is his favorite. Hearing the appreciation through Tanikella, both Puri and Raviteja rushed to Bapu’s home, just to receive another shocker.
