Can Two Legends be Friends or Enemies forever? That's what happened in the case of Ramoji Rao & Dasari Narayana Rao.
Dasari is known to be a straight-forward person & someone who wouldn't hesitate to cross swords with stalwarts/media honchos if he takes a stand. At one point, Ramoji Rao & Dasari were at loggerheads with each other. Even Eenadu boycotted Dasari for a period of time and the Filmmaker launched 'Udhayam' daily to establish it as a competitor. Mostly, Dasari preferred shooting his films at outdoors & film studios other than Ramoji Film City.
For a project, Dasari had no other option but to shoot in Ramoji Film City. Ramoji Rao invited Dasari for lunch up on knowing about the news. Ramoji Rao himself welcomed Dasari into his house and spoke to him in a very friendly manner. After having lunch, Dasari stepped out of Ramoji Rao's house and he was stunned to say the least. Film City Employees stood on either side of the road from Ramoji's house to the entrance gate and threw flowers on him. Dasari was left speechless with the kind reception he received and the Legends maintained the same relation thereafter.
Eenadu offered extensive coverage to Dasari when he passed away few days ago. That's something really appreciable on the part of Eenadu Group Chairman!
