Some legends just don’t retire quietly and with dignity. They stay on well past their prime and end up becoming caricatures of their former selves. One personality who is increasingly fitting into this slot has to be Dasari Narayana Rao.

The veteran director craves attention and does not let any opportunity go wasted in his quest to stay in the limelight. For that, his favourite targets are often the Mega family and actor Chiranjeevi. He also has this fascination for direction.

Dasari Narayana Rao’s skills as a director cannot be called into question and he delivered some of the most iconic films in Telugu cinema history. But that was in another time and age. His recent attempts at filmmaking have ended up as disasters. Yet, the fire to direct does not seem to desert this man.

On the eve of his birthday, Dr. Dasari announced that he would be directing a love story with youngsters very soon. Directing a love story is one of the toughest jobs and the director has to be in sync with the aspirations and lifestyle of youngsters. Can an old man like Dasari pull it off?

We will soon find out.
