A 50 days function of �Bathukamma� was celebrated at RNR auditorium in Hyderabad. With Sindhu Tolani playing the title role, this film was released under Kakatiya Films banner on May 1st with 9 prints which gradually increased to 25 prints due to public demand. Many VIPs like TFPC president Tammareddy Bharadwaja, former Central Minister Vidyasagar Rao, R Narayana Murthy, revolutionary writer Ramulu, balladeer Gaddar and Sindhu Tolani graced the function and appreciated the producers Saraswati Ramamohan Rao and Bakkapati Vanaja and also the director T Prabhakar for their interest and dedication in making a film highlighting in a humble way the present situational problems relating to Telangana.

Goreti Venkanna, who played a prominent role in the film, brought cheers to the otherwise dull atmosphere in the meeting with his electrifying dance by singing the title song �Bathukamma�. He was joined by the writer with yet another song �Jai Telangana� which further cheered the crowd.

Tammareddy Bharadwaja, while speaking on the dais applauded the director T Prabhakar for his ingenuity and special efforts in highlighting the regional problems through this film.

�The value of land and water which is universal is highlighted clearly in the film. Such films need the nation-wide recognition, hence I urge the producers to dub the film in all Indian languages�, exclaimed R Narayana Murthy.

�Three important factors, land, water and naxalism which represent Telangana issue was very well sketched by the director�, said Gaddar with great sense of pride.

The lead lady of the film Sindu Tolani, was very excited while thanking the producers for giving her the opportunity in this film to prove her talent in her role which is said to be the best performance in her career.
