A Telugu adage says, “If the guy serving food is ours, then he will surely give two extra sweets”, and that applies to Film Industry is all sizes and shapes. And one such guy is senior writer and actor Tanikella Bharani who shows unconditional on some people he likes very much.

Industry folks say that whenever Tanikella is visiting some places outside Hyderabad city, he has this habit of observing keenly about films. He will call up the producers to tell a film’s public talk, and sometimes he calls the directors to say that the posters of their recent releases are not pasted properly in some regions. With Tanikella’s feedback, even the directors and producers get into an alert mode to make sure that his suggestions and feedback are followed.

Recently this extra-care stuff for posters happened with both Ami Tumi and also DJ Duvvada Jagannadham. After giving advise to Ami Tumi team to increase their presence through posters, Tanikella called up Harish to tell the same, says a source. Guess what, there is a connection between Tanikella, Harish Shankar and Indraganti, find it out, not a rocket science we say!!

Insiders however say, it’s always good and required to have people like Tanikella Bharani who care for their club whether they have any work-related connections or not.
