When it comes to Sukumar’s most devoted protégé, it’s hard not to think of Bucchi Babu. Their association isn’t recent — ever since Sukumar began making his mark as a masterful director, Bucchi Babu has been his dedicated disciple. Blessed with talent, Bucchi Babu naturally evolved into Sukumar’s favored protégé even after entering the film industry. It was under Sukumar’s guidance that he made his debut in films, and the director’s encouragement has continued to shape his career. Today, Bucchi Babu is creating a name for himself in Telugu cinema, sometimes even competing with his mentor, while keeping the respect and admiration intact.
Sukumar, for his part, takes immense pride in having such a capable protégé. He often praises Bucchi Babu, saying that he will grow into an even greater director one day. Bucchi Babu, in turn, treats his mentor with the same level of reverence, always speaking of Sukumar with respect and gratitude on any platform.
One may wonder what kind of gift a protégé could ever offer a guru of Sukumar’s stature. Expensive cars? Luxurious villas? Bucchi Babu has the means to give anything, but he believes the most meaningful tribute lies elsewhere. For every film he works on, he ensures that Sukumar’s “Writing Banner” is credited — a gesture he considers the ultimate gift to his mentor. He acknowledges that if Sukumar hadn’t been the master he is, he himself might never have entered films, and might have been pursuing a completely different path.
From a young age, Bucchi Babu recognized Sukumar as his role model. He recalls friends telling him, “You think like Sukumar sir.” That connection, he says, has carried him through his journey so far. Sukumar affectionately calls him “Orey”, a nickname reserved for those very close to him — a gesture Bucchi Babu considers a mark of luck and privilege.
Bucchi Babu maintains that he will always remain Sukumar’s loyal disciple, regardless of his own success. Even when Sukumar scolds him, he respects it and will often call afterward to apologize if needed — a reflection of Sukumar’s greatness and humility. In every way, their relationship is a perfect blend of mentorship, trust, and mutual respect, demonstrating the rare bond between a guru and his protégé.
