Legendary cinema director and writer Singeetham Srinivasa Rao passed away on Saturday evening in Chennai in Kaveri Hospital, according to family and friends. He was 94.
Born in Gudur in Nellore district, he burst onto the screen at the age of 41 with his writing and direction of Neeti Nijayati, a Telugu movie with a homily in its heart in 1972. But before that, Singeetham began as a dialogue writer to filmmaker K.V. Reddy and assisted him in the ground breaking Telugu movie in 1957: Mayabazar. Between these two dates, he honed and experimented his craft.
