Tollywood actor Gopichand, who has carved a niche for himself in the industry, turned emotional during the death anniversary event of his father and noted film director Totempudi Krishna here on Saturday. The event was organised by Praja Natya Mandali (PNM).
Speaking after paying floral tributes to the legendary filmmaker, he said he was moved by the love and affection of Ongole residents for his father. They continue to mark birth and death anniversaries of Mr. Krishna by awarding scholarship to meritorious students. He exhorted members of GenX to draw inspiration by watching some of the thought-provoking films directed by his father, who died of cancer at the age of 36.
