Abhishekam 200 Episodes Celebration

Dr Dasari Narayana Rao’s TV serial ‘Abhishekam’, being made under Sowbhagya Media Ltd., banner has successfully completed 200 episodes. Dasari Padma is presenting the serial. On the eve of the completing 200 episodes a press meet was arranged at Taj Banjara Hotel. In this programme Dr Dasari Narayana Rao, Baapineedu, Ramakrishna Prasad, Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad, Ajya Shanthi , Hemalaya Kumari, etc., participated.

Dasari Narayana Rao told the media, “Of late people are more addicted to TVs than films. The films are not being preferred by them as much as they prefer the TV. Remember, my serial ‘Vishwamitra’ was telecasted in 1988 in Doordharshan. This serial became familiar at par with ‘Ramayan’ and ‘Mahabharata’. We launched this serial ‘Abhishekam’ some 12 years ago. Since making serial is a risk factor we kept postponing then and there and finally started to make it as a soial service but not on commercial aspect. It is important to note that only Telugu speaking people are working for this serial. Likewise, the cast and crew of my latest film ‘Young India’ are Telugu speaking people. This apart, another serial ‘Thoorpu Padamara’ will be telecast in ETV from Vijayadasami day.”

Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad while speaking, “It has to be specially mentioned about Dasari garu who directed many classic films in the past, has made a serial that depicts the youth’s problems in today’s society. It is to be appreciated that the serial has successfully completed 200 episodes.”

Ajay Shanti opined, “Dasari Narayana Rao has become the top director for the reason that he became close to the general public by directing films with the subjects relating to middle class people. Similarly this serial ‘Abhishekam’ also has reached the common people due to the subject that deals with youth problems in the society. I congratulate Dasari garu and his entire team on completion of 200 days of ‘Abhishekam’.”
