Vedantam Raghavaiah (Director) – Show Filmography
(1919-71) Telugu director born in Krishna Dist., AP. Trained in classical Kuchipudi dance. Started as choreographer for Ramabrahmam’s Raitu Bidda (1939) and for several 40s and 50s Telugu films (Vande Mataram, 1939; Swargaseema, 1945; Raksharekha, 1949; Vipranarayana, 1954), acting in some of them. Third film as director was Devadasu, starring A. Nageshwara Rao, in an adaptation of Saratchandra Chattopadhyay’s oftenfilmed novel, Devdas. The hit inaugurated the wellknown Vinoda Pics Studio started by distributor G.K. Manga Rao. Subsequent films include Telugu versions of hits in other languages, e.g. Jaswantlal’s Anarkali (1953), Bhale Ramudu (adapted from Kismet, 1943, and using Ghantasala’s music). These films opened up new directions for Telugu cinema displacing its dominant mythological genre. Made the Anjali Devi hit Suvarna Sundari, but its bigbudget sequel Swarnamanjari failed.
