WHY DO K RAGHAVENDRA RAO'S FILMS HAVE THE HERO THROWING FRUITS ON THE HEROINE'S NAVEL?

Director K Raghavendra Rao is called for an interview with the censors regarding his new film Grapes, Oranges and Bananas.

CENSORS: Mr Raghavendra Rao, this is about your new films, Grapes, Oranges and Bananas. You call it an educational film, what does it teach?

RAGHAVENDRA RAO: Human Anatomy, sir. Human Anatomy. Everytime our hero playfully hits the heroine with a grape or an orange or a banana, the audiences are so engrossed with the navel that they are forced to know a thing or two about it. And soon their curiosity will be roused and they will enquire about the other parts of the body like stomach, hips, heart, lungs, etc. This way they will be thoroughly informed about the anatomy of the whole body.

CENSORS (zapped): ?????

RAGHAVENDRA RAO: If you are still not convinced, ask the audiences and they will tell you the exact dimensions of the navels of the actresses who worked with me -- from Jayasudha to Genelia, including Sri Devi, Jayaprada, Ramyakrishna, Rambha, Nagma, Radha, Vijayashanti, Raasi, Ravali, Deepti Bhatnagar, and even Meenakshi Sheshadri.

CENSORS (recover from their shock): But, what if any of the heroine gets hurt or dies in the fruits throwing binge?

RAGHAVENDRA RAO: Then they will learn about death, sir. They benefit one way or the other. And in the process the audiences get to have some lusty entertainment too. It is for no reason that heroines make a beeline to my house. And audiences love to watch my films.

CENSORS: ?????

Now sit back and enjoy this Raghavendra Rao's song from Vetagadu. Sri Devi was a rage and set many a heart aflutter in the late 70s and early 80s.

Ramyakrishna bids adieu to Krishnavamsi!!

All is not well with Ramyakrishna's marriage. It's been rumoured in Hyderabad that she has left for Chennai with bag and baggage to live with her parents, along with her son, to escape from her depressing marriage. However, sources close to the couple say that there was no marriage at all in the first place, as it was only Krishnavamsi who was interested in her, and she never gave a damn to him. It seems the director had such a huge crush on her that he waited for her nod for more than five years, before she finally got disgusted and said yes. But, insiders insist, she wasn't keen on keeping her commitment to him and strictly told him that she would do what she wants and that he shouldn't tell him what to do. But, alas, the butterfly that she is, it must have been very difficult for her to cope with the not-so-sophisticated maverick filmmaker. Ramyakrishna has had a legendary reputation for going around with directors K Raghavendra Rao and Raviraja Pinisetty, in whose films she excelled.
