Nutan Prasad dies

Veteran artist Nutan Prasad, aged 65, passed away on Wednesday due to a prolonged illness, on his way to the Apollo Hospital, Hyderabad.

Born as Tadivada Varaprasad in Kaikalur on December 12, 1945, Nutan Prasad started his acting career with the play `Naa Vote-u` in Guntur and soon debuted on the silver screen with Bapu'sAndaala Raamudu (1973). Needa Leni Aadadi (1974), and Bapu's Muthyala Muggu (1975) made his position secure. His role as Satan in Bapu's Rajadhiraju(1980) brought him popularity and critical appreciation. 

He soon graduated to key roles that brought him much-deserved recognition, and his voice and vocal modulation set him apart. He won the Nandi Award for Best Supporting Artist through his role in Ushakiron Movies' Sundari-Subbarao (1984). His roles in many movies such as Mogudu Kaavali, Khaidi, Aha Naa Pellanta, Mantrigaari Viyyakandu, Adavi Donga and Muddula Chellulu were quite popular.

An accident during the shooting of Baamma Maata-Bangaaru Baata (1989), when Rajendra Prasad and Nutan Prasad fell to the ground when a crane's cable broke loose while they were in the "super car" floating in the air, caused him severe damage. He continued acting again, with Vijayashanti-starrer Karthavyam (1990). His real life pain was heart wrenchingly depicted through his real-life role in Sarpa Yaagam (1991), Paruchuri brothers' directorial venture starring Sobhan Babu.

Soon, the roles that Nutan Prasad could play became limited as he was confined to a wheel chair. He dubbed for late Gummadi in Aayanakiddaru(1995) as the artiste had issues with his voice at that time. He then moved on to the television with the advent of channels such as the ETV. His dialogues such as "nootokka jillaala andagaadini", " desamlO chaalaa klishta paristhitullO undi. Right nunchi China, Left nunchi Pakistan..." were quite popular and featured in almost all mimicry performances of the times.

Nutan Prasad was awarded the NTR Award for the year 2005. He's survived by a son (Nutan Kumar, who also acted in films) and two daughters.

Nagarjuna's Ragada slated for release on Dec 23

King Nagarjuna’s ‘Ragada’ directed by Veeru Potla and produced by D Sivaprasada Reddy on the banner of Kamakshi Enterprises is all set for release on December 23 across the world.

Speaking on the occasion, producer says, ‘Nagarjuna is doing yet another prestigious film on our banner titled ‘Ragada’. We are planning to complete all the formalities and release the film on December 23 through out the world.

There was a tremendous response to the audio which was released recently. We are getting reports from all the areas that all the songs were good to listen and melodious. We are very happy that our film had become a musical hit.

Our film had all kinds of elements that could attract all classes of audiences. We produced film lavishly without any compromise. The grandeur could be watched on the screen. We are confident that the audiences would make our film a big hit.’


Nagarjuna's Ragada has completed its entire shooting except for a song.

At this rate the film is expected to hit the screens on December 17th as announced earlier despite the release of the other biggie, Venky's Nagavalli on the same day.

Looks like Venky and Nag, who are relatives, are now going to compete at the box-office.

But in Nagarjuna's case, two of his movies are releasing in the same month, Ragada and Gaganam. Now this is why we call December an exciting month.
