Honoring the works of Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, the festival will showcase ‘Pushpaka Vimana’ (1987) and ‘Aditya 369’ (1991). The silent black comedy ‘Pushpaka Vimana’, featuring Kamal Haasan, remains a groundbreaking film, delivering a scathing critique of socio-economic disparity.
Speaking about his vision, Singeetham Srinivasa Rao shared, “Stripping away dialogue challenged me as a storyteller, and seeing this film resonate after decades proves the power of visual storytelling.”
Similarly, ‘Aditya 369’, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, pioneered Indian science fiction with its compelling time-travel narrative. Reflecting on this landmark film, Singeetham Srinivasa Rao added, “Merging mythology with science fiction was a risk, but witnessing its continued admiration reaffirms the importance of pushing creative boundaries.”
