Kathanayakudu Katha

Directed by B. Ramakrishnaiah Panthulu
2008
The emotional tale, the story is about two childhood friends Balakrishna (Jagapathi Babu) and Ashok Kumar (Rajinikanth). Balu does not stop at anything to make his friend feel happy. As time passes by, they take different paths, and Balu becomes a barber in a small village called Siricilla. He gets married to Devi (Meena Durairaj) and has three children and leads a happy life. However, his finances are dry and he is often led to the door of Dharmaraju (Dharmavarapu Subramanyam), the financier. On the other hand, Balu has tough competition from the more smart and clever Shanmugam (Sunil (actor)), who has a saloon right opposite to his shop. Balu is a man with self-respect and honesty. His life continues to roll until one day there is news that a film shooting is going to happen in a place near their village and the hero of the film is ''Superstar Ashok Kumar.'' The news spreads like wildfire and Balu knows this but hesitates to show himself as a friend of Ashok Kumar. On the other hand, folks around get to know the friendship of Balu and Ashok Kumar and in this process, those who have been ridiculing him start doing favors for him only with the intention of meeting Ashok Kumar or at least watching him from outside. But hesitant Balu is unable to do what they want and soon people start shunning him, and even his own children start showing anger towards him but at last, Ashok Kumar says about Balu, his childhood friend who made him a super star, and he meets Balu.
