Beyond ANR’s farewell: Why Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s dual role remains the emotional soul of Manam | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

5 min readHyderabadApr 28, 2026 08:05 AM IST On paper, Manam was not Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s film. It belonged to the Akkinenis: ANR in his final screen appearance, Nagarjuna producing and Naga Chaitanya in the lead role. The film was always going to be viewed through the lens of legacy and loss. But Samantha, cast in a dual role as Krishna Veni and Priya, did something that dual roles rarely allow for. She made both women feel like separate people rather than two faces of the same performance. The weight around Manam To understand what Samantha Ruth Prabhu was working within, you have to understand what Manam was carrying before a single ticket was sold. Akkineni Nageswara Rao passed away on January 22, 2014 while the film was still in production. Manam became his last screen appearance, and Nagarjuna promoted it as a tribute and a befitting farewell for his father. The trailer ended with the words “ANR Lives On.” By the time it hit theatres, audiences were watching a movie that felt like a …

Why Nagarjuna’s Sri Ramadasu remains the gold standard for Telugu devotional cinema 20 years on | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

5 min readHyderabadMar 30, 2026 08:12 PM IST There is a scene near the end of Sri Ramadasu where Nagarjuna, gaunt and broken after years in a Golconda prison, sings to Lord Rama in despair. It is the kind of moment that separates actors who perform from those who transform. For Nagarjuna, it was the second time he had pulled off exactly that, having done the same a decade earlier as Annamacharya. Released on March 30, 2006, Sri Ramadasu remains one of the most ambitious devotional films Telugu cinema has produced, and twenty years on, it still holds up. Sri Ramadasu is based on the life of Kancherla Gopanna, a 17th-century composer, poet and devotee of Lord Rama who served as a Tahasildar under the Qutb Shahi sultanate. Gopanna is believed to have used government tax money to build the famous Bhadrachalam temple dedicated to Rama, which led to his imprisonment for twelve years by the emperor Tanisha. According to legend, Lord Rama and Lakshmana themselves appeared before the emperor and repaid the gold coins …
