There are some interesting things always happening. Especially people in reality connect to things in cinema as they adopt the reel-stuff into real as well. In those olden days, appearing like cine actors and imitating their lines from hit films used to be a trend.
Another interesting trend is that, people used to make promises to others using some aspects related to cinema celebs. For example, some used to say, “Raghavendra Rao geddam meeda ottu” (It’s a promise on K Raghavendra Rao’s beard) and few even went on saying, “Aah Mounamuni Meed Ottu”, indirectly referring to Darsakendrudu’s silence at all movie related events.
Obviously people are so convinced that K Raghavendra Rao will never ever shave his beard nor he will open his mouth at movie events. As time passed, the legendary senior director appeared without-beard many a times. Also he started opening up, talking about his films, film-making style and his actors, on both TV and YouTube. He’s also seen giving good speeches at movie press meets with recent one being Sridevi’s MOM movie press-meet.
In a way, if someone gave a big promise by keeping their oath on Ragahvendra Rao’s beard and silence, definitely they got wasted now. Hmmm!!
