In 1996, he appeared in the Doordarshan Documentary Eminent Cartoonists of India, and was awarded Lifetime Achievement from Indian Institute of Cartoonists in 2001. He gained international recognition through his art works viz., Bapu Bomma, The Navarasas, and the Indian Dances etc., which were held at the National Film Theatre, London, in 1978 and at the innumerable Telugu Conferences in the United States.[7] He has worked as a graphic artist for J Walter Thomson, Efficient Publicities and F. D. Stewarts, Chennai.[8]
In 1964, he was a delegate at the UNESCO sponsored seminar in Bangalore on Children's Books. The same year, he gave demonstrations for the training course programme on book illustrations and cover designs sponsored by UNESCO in Chennai. In the 1960s he has served as art Consultant for Ford Foundation sponsored The Southern Language Book Trust. He has designed and illustrated several books for leading publishers in South India out of which, five received Government Awards. He has also done the same for innumerable works drawn from Puranas and folklore.[8]
Bapu was born on 15 December 1933,[9] in Narsapuram, in present-day West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, India to Sattiraju Venugopala Rao and Suryakantam. He has worked as a political cartoonist for the newspaper Andhra Patrika in 1945. He holds B.Com (1953) and BL (1955) from University of Madras.[8]
Bapu's paintings focus on Hindu mythological characters, and he has painted the Hindu epic Ramayana as a pictorial story. His character portrayals, such as Shiva, Bhima, Duryodhana, look distinctly male with wide chests, large jaws and large biceps; while Krishna and Rama are more feminine in build.
His paintings have decorated the cover pages of many magazines in India and Abroad. Telugu Naadi Magazine published from US for Telugu audience have published Bapu's great paintings. Bapu also later served on their advisory board to guide and have an outstanding content for the magazine that catered to Telugu people.
Bapu's family was staying in Madras and in 1942, when the Japanese bombed Madras, there was a panic exodus and Bapu's family moved to Narasapuram and stayed there till 1945, when the Second World War ended. Bapu studied in Taylor High School, Narasapuram during these years.
Mullapudi Venkataramana's father, who was working as a Sub-Registrar was posted at Narasapuram during the years 1942-45 and so, Venkataramana also studied in Taylor high School, Narasapram, during those years. They were classmates during those three years and that is how their association started. They continued schooling at Kesari High School, Madras. Ramana's first short story 'Amma Maata Vinakapote' was published in 1945 in 'Bala', a children's magazine published by Radio Annayya (Nyayapathi Raghava Rao), he was 14 then. Bapu illustrated the story. That was the beginning of their career as a writer-producer -illustrator- filmmaker duo".
Started as an illustrator-story writer team and then turning into a film-director-writer duo, they have contributed immensely to the enrichment of Telugu cultural ethos through literature and cinema. When one mentions Bapu, then one is bound to mention Ramana's name too and vice versa. The most notable achievement in his movie making is his success in capturing the nativity of Telugu people and translating it great on-screen visuals.
Bapu had suffered heart attacks many times throughout his career. He was admitted into a hospital at Chennai in mid August 2014. He suffered from a cardiac arrest on 31 August 2014, and died later on the same day.[10]
The following is a summary of the best filmmaking books written by filmmakers, for filmmakers. Naturally, any list of this kind features a certain level of subjectivity, but all of the below are industry renowned titles and come highly recommended.

This is by far the most important book on this list for practical use. Every serious producer owns this book. It consolidates most of the necessary resources needed to make a professional film, show, or new media project.
This book includes important information on vendors, permits, film financiers, production companies and more. When it comes to the best books about film, Hollywood Producers Directory is the go-to for producers, directors or anyone who wants to know more.
He also goes into the business of film, which is just as important as the physical production in many cases. Below in our video, we go super in-depth on one of the main lessons found in Making Movies - The Lens Plot. This is a highly advanced lesson for filmmakers.
On Directing Film helps explain the conception of ideas, how they move through the business pipeline and how to seize opportunities. Mamet goes over everything from how to approach a script and direct actors to properly communicating with cinematographers and producers.
Akira Kurosawa is possibly the greatest filmmaker of all time. He elevated the art of filmmaking further than anyone alive. He used science, math and the language of cinema to completely alter the way humans view the universe. To fully understand his films, you need to read his book.
The filmmakers handbook tries to explain as much about filmmaking as it possibly can, and it does a pretty good job. They tackle lighting, finance, crew, cast, and they've even updated this version to take into consideration the shift from film to the digital age.
If it's Purple, Someone's Gonna Die is a great read. It explains to filmmakers how they can go about making the correct color selections for their scenes.

These sections have examples, anecdotes, and tips for using or avoiding each color.
Check out our post on What Does a Producer Do: The Various Types of Producers in Film & TV, where we break down the jurisdiction of each producer, and explain why Hollywood created various producer roles.
In 2016, filmmaker Tharun Bhascker broke into the Telugu film industry with his film Pelli Choopulu, a fresh romantic comedy starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ritu Varma. The film will be remembered for many reasons. Its easy-going tonality was quite an aberration in Telugu cinema, and its commercial success unexpected. It will also be remembered for its two National Awards and as the film that gave Vijay Deverakonda his breakthrough role. This wasn't an easy film to get rolling. Bhascker's struggle to find money and distribution for it has now become legendary. Here he looks back at his experiences and tells other younger directors following in his footsteps what they can learn from his journey.
If you're entering the film industry for the first time, I suggest you focus on the craft and the technical aspect of it. All you need to remember is that if you want to submit your film for a theatrical release, it's just about sending 2K footage in raw or DPX format to the Qube system. When you boil down a film to these technical aspects it becomes less daunting. There is a lot of attention on this industry and that brings expectations and pressure which is not very real. So the moment you understand that you only have to submit a 2K footage for censorship, it becomes a mechanical and therefore less intimidating process.
There are many stereotypes in the industry about which production house to go to or not to go to. There are a lot of opinions thrown around. Don't let such advice be a roadblock in your journey. When Pelli Choopulu happened, I was advised not to go to Suresh Productions because they apparently stall films. But Suresh (Babu) sir saw my film, called me, and said he wanted to distribute it. He's a very practical man and Rana (Daggubati) is an amazing guy who looks at storytelling.
I was getting refused till then by distributors because it was in sync sound and the film wasn't fitting into anyone's marketing strategy. For 3 months my mom and wife used to weep every time I'd come home with a rejection. All that could have been avoided had I approached Suresh Productions first.
Surprisingly, it's not hard to meet with producers. A lot of filmmakers don't go and knock on doors. Maybe it hurts their self esteem. The 'struggle' has been so glorified and dramatised that nobody wants to go through it in the first place and they all want to look for shortcuts. But the honest truth is that if you have confidence in your screenplay, go to offices and take an appointment. For me getting a meeting was not hard at all. In fact, Suresh sir puts out his number in the public domain. I know for a fact that Annapurna Studios is open and you can pitch anytime you want.
99% percent of the people in this industry don't know anything about filmmaking. I stand by this statement. Everybody has their own perspective on what kind of films work and what doesn't. Only one percent of this industry actually knows their craft and it's very difficult to find them but once you do, open your ears and listen to them.
