YVS and Raghavendra Rao are the birthday boys

Today is the birthday of two stalwarts of Tollywood.

Yalamanchili Venkata Satyanarayana Chowdary who is known as YVS Chowdary and K.Raghavendra Rao both are considered to be strong pillars of the Telugu film Industry.

YVS Chowdary born in Gudiwada in a very humble family is considered as one of the best film makers in the business with a track record of blockbuster movies such as 'Lahiri Lahiri Lhirilo' 'Seathiah' and 'Devdas' produced under his own production banner Bommarillu Banner.

The credit of starting the trend of making movies with an entirely new star cast goes to this hit maker.

YVS Chowdary introduced this new movement with a film called 'SSRKCR' produced by the megastar Nagarjuna.

The climb to the top for this director was not an easy one.

He after entering Tollywood became an assistant director in films such as 'Aggipidugu', 'Pattabhishekam' 'Kaliyuga Pandavulu', 'Agni Puthrudu', 'Sahasa Samrat', and 'Donga Ramudu'.

Then he did the duties of an associate director for films such as 'Janaki Ramudu', 'Rudranethra' and 'Jagadekaveerudu-Athilokasundari'.

After that came the next step to his career in the role of a co-director for films 'Aswamedham', 'Govinda Govinda' 'Criminal', 'Gulabi' and 'Ninne Pelladitha'.

After taking up the different responsibilities of an assistant director, associate director and as a co-director, YVS Chowdary started his independent innings in the filmdom.

He went to direct very successful movies like 'Sri Seetha Ramula kalyanam Chootamu Rarandi', 'Seethrama Raju' , 'Yuvaraju' among others.

Darsakendra K.Raghavendra Rao, one of the most renowned Telugu film director was born on May 23, 1942 and is regarded as a person who has contributed a lot in the success enjoyed by Tollywood now.

A veteran film maker who started out in the 1970's by directing his first film 'Babu' starring Sobhan Babu, which was a huge hit till now have directed around 103 films and is still going strong having directed 'Pandurangadu' in 2008.

As a true multi talented personality he showed his prowess in directing dance scenes for the film 'Pelli Sandadi' which he himself directed.

This film is considered as the biggest musical hit ever in Tollywood and K.Raghavendra Rao won the best choreographer Nandi Award for this film.

The senior director has dabbled himself in all genres of films in a long and successful filmy career making even evergreen inspirational films like 'Trishulam' and 'Annamayya' and female oriented films like 'Jyoti', 'Aame Katha', and 'Kalpana'.

These two film makers have been entertaining us for a long time now.

We wish that they both climb even more higher with films that can further boost the image and reach of Tollywood and stay successful in their ventures for long.
