Thanks for posting - the movie was shot before I was born but I remember my uncle Ramgopal and his movie days. My cousin Madhavpeddi Suresh is a singer in Telugu films today.
A hit picture in those days. Iam trying to get a copy of the film, and when I approached Sri K Raghvendra Rao, famous Director, he said that the copy is not available. If anybody is having a copy let me know. My phone number is
