HYDERABAD: Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao condoled the demise of noted film director K Viswanath on Thursday night.
CM KCR said that Viswanath was a rare distinguished film director who chose the ordinary story and turned it into a classic movie on the silver screen with his amazing talent.
The CM recalled the discussion between Viswanath and him on movies, music and literature when he visited the ailing director’s home a couple of years ago. KCR said that India's traditional values and culture has been given big importance in Viswanath's films.
Vishwanath was the great Indian director, who visualised the conflicts that always arise in human relationships with music and literature as the main theme, he said.
He won many prestigious awards like Dada Saheb Phalke and Raghupathi Venkaiah are a testament to the talent of Viswanath as a director. The CM said that the name of Vishwanath will remain carry on until the Telugu film industry exists.
Poets and scholars are immortal. They have no fear of birth and death.
"Jayanthi Te Sukritino...Rasasiddha Kaveeswarah. Nasti tesham yasah kaye jaramaranajam bhayam" is applicable to Vishwanath,” CM KCR said.
The CM conveyed his deepest condolences to the bereaved family members.
