A comedian has a sorry tale to tell. Along with cups and medals, he has earned ‘a cup of sorrow’ too. He is none other than Gundu Hanumantha Rao.
He has been making the audiences cheerful on both big and small screens for more than three decades but his remuneration has not gone up. While his counterparts are charging more than One Lakh rupees a day, he needs to be content with only Rs. 2,500.
Before Director Jandhyala brought him into the film Industry, he made living on selling biscuits as a small vendor. He couldn’t make progress on financial front as an actor too with his meager earnings.
While other comedians come to the sets on luxurious sedan cars, he comes in an old ‘Zen’car.
Actors need to master the knack of bargaining along with the tact of acting.
