Rajamouli names Mullapudi for Padma award The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to request the central government to confer Padma Vibhushan on well-known writer, director and artist Bapu posthumously.
Government is also recommending the name of well-known actor and Rajahmundry MP Maganti Murali Mohan for Padma Bhushan. Versatile artist Kota Sreenivasa Rao name also figured in Padma list.
Government's decision to nominate several film celebrities for Padma Awards is welcomed by film celebrities. Ace director SS Rajamouli welcomed the decision and said he felt happy for recognizing the efforts of film fraternity.
However he has recommended another name for Padma award. Rajamouli said, "Glad to hear AP Govt proposing Bapu garu, Kota garu, Cartoonist Sreedhar garu for Padma Awards. Wish they include Mullapudi Venkataramana garu." If Bapu is there, Mullapudi should also be there.
Mullapudi known for his hilarious style of writing and he was the dialogue, story and screenplay writer for many of the movies that came as a Bapu-Ramana combination. He was versatile in penning both heart-touching and rib-tickling dialogues. He deserves the award and hope our government will take his name into consideration.
