On the sets of Amma Cheppindi
It's a long drive to the Taramati Baradari complex where the shoot of Gunnam Gangaraju's film Amma Cheppindi is taking place.
As I enter the indoor auditorium, I notice it is full of people. Gangaraju is on stage giving directions, while the actors Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Pavan Malhotra, Shriya Reddy are seated in the first row on one side. Suman has occupied a seat on the other side of the first row.
Gangaraju asks me to sit and I watch the proceedings from my seat in the third row. A scene is enacted between Suman and Shriya in the aisles. The audience applauds.
