Trivia: The year 1955 is particularly notable for the birth of Annapurna Pictures with Dukkipati Madhusudana Rao as its backbone. Their first film `DONGA RAMUDU' directed by K.V. Reddy with ANR and Savitri in the lead and hefty R. Nageswara Rao playing villain was sensational hit. This is a story of a thief who reforms himself. Jamuna plays the sister of the title character Ramudu. The movie is noted for it’s great fight sequence between ANR and R.Nageswara Rao. The fight scenes between the two, looked like a battle between David and Goliath. A funny method, like the puny hero kicking the giant with both legs while flying into air was adopted and it was received well. In ANR's view, 'Donga Ramudu' is a social epic in cinema art.
