Its tEne manasulu.
Long ago I read an interesting article by (well known) director C S Rao
(he wrote every month for "vijayachitra" magazine in mid-80s! His articles
were extremely informative, mostly on pre-49 films!) narrating how Krishna
got his first role.
Apparently there were too many applicants. And aadurti, the patriot, gave
a fierce speech saying some thing like: 'its your duty to defend the
country in this critical time. Join the forces voluntarily by signing up
the list lieing here ......." And by the time he ended his speech all the
candidates left the room except Krishna, and got the role.
I don't know how true is this. The 2nd Indo-Pakistan war took place in
1966 and tEne manasulu was made in '65. Is CS Rao wrong? Or the war was
in '65?

Are n't the songs: maanavuDE mahaneeyuDu ... from baala bhaaratam &
E nimishaaniki Emi jarugunO evaroohinchedaru ... from lavakuSa
come under "back ground" songs category? I am little doubtful about
the earlier, but Kanta Rao certainly does n't move his lips :-) in later.
