He also put his hands into film making (and burnt them), producing and directing the film "chitranaLeeyam" (1938, orig. based on Dharmavaram Krishnamacharyulu's well-known stage play, with addanki Sriramamurthy, Sriranjani Sr., and Madhavapeddi Venkataramayya). Wrote lyrics for films in late 30s, also wrote dialogues for atleast one more film "venkaTESwara maahaatmyam" (directed by P. Pullayya, 1939, with CSR and P. Santakumari in lead roles, well Pullayya re-made it in 1960). Regards, --Sreenivas
