Whenever director Anudeep meets anchor Suma, it's going to be a laugh riot only. Only due to his presence on the "Cash" program, where his choice of words and Suma's counter punches created a lot of fun, the director got immense popularity. To promote his latest movie "Funky", the director and his producer, Naga Vamsi other day went to Suma's home to shoot a special carrom-board video too.

In a special video with anchor Suma, both Naga Vamsi and Anudeep have to continuously tell the names of the titles our stars have without any breaks. They said the names of Megastar, Young Tiger, Powerstar, Superstar, and Yuvratna, then came Anudeep, who said "Navaratna". Thinking that he has said something about a hair oil, everyone laughed and said that he was lying. However, the reality is that deceased hero Nandamuri Tarakaratna has used the title "Navaratna" initially. Sharing that screenshot, now his fans are hailing him.

Well, having immense cinema knowledge is something few directors excel at, and for those who always love to watch cinema, surely any such detail will not go away from their minds. Not many would have remembered that Tarakaratna was called 'Navaratna' at the initial stage of his career, and that has surely excited many to hear. Undoubtedly, Anudeep revealed an interesting fact, but on the show he was made to drink 'bitter gourd' juice for failing to say the right title. However, Anudeep is right!
