Interview excerpts from Kader Khan (Famous Hindi Artist) His association with N T Rama Rao After NTR became the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, he called me and said I want to give you some responsibility, will you do it for me? In those days, all film worked happened mostly in Madras (now Chennai). Even for films shot in Mumbai, the post-production work was done in Madras. NTR told me that most of the producers from Andhra do their film work in Madras, so could I tell them that he would give them a place at a cheaper rate to build their own studio in Andhra. I knew most of the producers because I was working in most of the south remakes for which I wrote the dialogues. I spoke to the producers and they all agreed, and so two different industries were formed -- Tamil and Telugu -- and a studio was built in Hyderabad. SIMHA |
