Some of us know that a film of Sri Adi Sankara was made in our sweet TELUGU language some time ago which I happened to watch by chance when I was in Guntur at our Home only 10 minutes or so just before it ended. I cursed my self on that day for not able to watch from the beginning in one of Telugu channels. I was trying my best to try to get that film but in vain. If anybody has any information about this film made by SUBBARAMIREDDI, I will be most grateful.
