Chittajalu Srinivasa Rao (b. 1924) Born in Kakinada, AP. Mainstream Telugu filmmaker of sentimental dramas, mythologicals and contemporary socials. Also worked in Kannada. Son of C. Pullaiah, in whose children’s films Dhruva and Ansuya (both 1936) he acted. Sponsored commercial Telugu theatre group Navagraha Kootam. Joined Gemini as assistant director (1946) and worked with Pullaiah, Ramnoth, A.K. Sekhar and on Uday Shankar’s Kalpana (1948). A major figure in perpetuating the cultural orthodoxy of e.g. Vel Pics and the early Gemini in combining values of entertainment with sentimental moralism, a trend continued by his assistants A. Sheshgiri Rao, Ramchandra Rao, etc. Married actress Rajasulochana, a consistent presence in his work since the late 50s.
