Sreeleela�s Heartfelt Message To Raghavendra Rao Wins Hearts

Before she steps into the Bollywood spotlight with Aashiqui 3, Sreeleela paused to pay tribute to the man who gave her a start in Telugu cinema. On legendary director K Raghavendra Rao�s 83rd birthday, she penned a touching message calling him �the man who launched me into Telugu cinema,� adding, �Always your little Ammulu.� Her post quickly won hearts, reminding fans of her debut in the 2021 film Pelli SandaD under his direction.

She wasn�t the only one sending love to the veteran filmmaker. Allu Arjun, now one of India�s biggest stars, also shared a nostalgic message: �Wishing a very happy birthday to my Guru ji Raghavendra Rao garu! My first director. The man who launched me into films. Gratitude forever.� His debut film Gangotri, directed by Rao, released back in 2003 and marked the start of his journey.

In an industry known for fast-changing loyalties, moments like these stand out. When stars pause to acknowledge those who believed in them first, it speaks volumes  not just about their journey, but the hands that shaped it.
