<p>The history of Telugu cinema is incomplete without the mention of Dr Dasari Narayana Rao. He is an Indian film actor, director, and writer who worked his magic mainly from the 1970s and 1990s. He helmed films like Tata Manavadu, Sargam Narakam, Megha Sandesam, Mamagaru, Bobbili Puli, Sardar Paparayudu and Osey Ramulamma, which are considered one of the greatest films of all time. For the unversed, Director’s Day is celebrated in honour of Dr Dasari Narayana Rao. On the occasion of his 75th birth anniversary, let’s have a look at his journey from childhood to become the legendary filmmaker to a renowned politician. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href=”https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/web-stories/10-times-nandita-swetha-made-a-stunning-appearance-in-black/photostory/91280668.cms” target=”_blank”>10 times Nandita Swetha made a stunning appearance in black</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pic courtesy: Twitter</p>

<p>Dr Dasari Narayana Rao was born on May 4, 1947, in Palakollu, West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. He hailed from an upper-middle-class family. He had assets in his village. Dasari’s father and uncle used to run a tobacco business together. Unfortunately, their tobacco godown was set on fire during Diwali. There were no insurances then. The tragic incident weakened their financial status. The farms also had to be sold during those difficult times. They are a total of six children (three boys and a girl). Dasari is the third child of his parents. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href=”https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/telugu-actor-chiranjeevi-recalls-an-humiliating-incident-in-his-delhi-trip-amid-hindi-row-/articleshow/91286040.cms” target=”_blank”>Telugu actor Chiranjeevi recalls a humiliating incident on his Delhi trip amid a Hindi row.</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pic courtesy: Twitter</p>

<p>No one in their family was educated until their father’s generation. Dasari is the only one educated in their family because of his father. By the time Dasari reached the sixth grade, their financial situation had deteriorated. He could not even afford to pay three-quarters of his school fees and was hired to work in a carpentry shop. The salary there is Rs. 1/-. He was awarded as the best student in the sixth grade. Such is the misery of dropping out of school and going to work. But with the help of a teacher, he continued to study again. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href=”https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/major-trailer-adivi-sesh-and-saiee-manjrekar-starrers-theatrical-trailer-to-be-out-on-may-9/articleshow/91304959.cms” target=”_blank”>Major Trailer: Adivi Sesh and Saiee Manjrekar starrer’s theatrical trailer to be out on May 9</a><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pic courtesy: Twitter</p>
