Nostalgia: NTR's Stage Drama As Lord Krishna

There was an impression among the people that film actors cannot act on stage on par with stage artistes and they shiver with fear as that's real time platform. But breaking that impression NTR made a big attempt in 1969 to help the flood victims. He played Sri Krishna Tulabharam drama in several places by portraying the role of Lord Krishna.

People used to stand and pray for him assuming real Krishna has come on to stage. In that drama Kantha Rao played Narada while Savitri and Devika played Satyabhama and Rukmini respectively.

The drama got very good response and people understood that film stars are no less to drama artistes while acting on stage.
