He is fondly called as the ‘Mental Krishna’ by the cine folks and the audience. Though his films provide a major torture, there are many who go to the theatres to watch his films just to see the dose of sadism and torture quotient he has increased.
He is none other than Posani Krishnamurali and recently he gave a ‘Jhalak’ to our very own popular TV anchor Suma. All this happened in a TV show being hosted by Suma and Posani came as the celebrity judge. In one instant, Suma asked Posani “What is the title of your next film?”
Pat came the reply from Posani “Bongu Swamy!!”. Before Suma could recover from the jolt, he said “You are feeling tortured no?” she said “Not torture but finding it new.”.
Posani said “That’s what happens when you hear ‘Boothu’ word but there is no Boothu here. There are bamboo sticks, bamboo bed, bamboo decorations and in between this Swamy sits… that’s why the name Bongu Swamy. The movies I have taken before like ‘Dussasana’ ‘Duryodhana’ ‘Rajavari Chepala Cheruvu’ have no boothu in the title but this one is different.”
Those who saw this were glad that Suma didn’t faint by then.
