Sreeramana
Sri Sreeramana is not a new name in the world of Telugu literature. His much talked about
long story 'Mithunam' is not new to the readers either. We are glad to publish the story here
in TeluguPeople to initiate yet another debate. As everyone, perhaps, is aware it is one story
that created history of sorts both in India and abroad. It received the rarest of rare honour of
having been scripted by Sri Bapu, the illustrious gifted artist and film director of Andhra
Pradesh. It was made into a film by one of the towering personalities of the modern Indian
cinema -- M. T. Vasudevan Nair. And the film was received with warmth at all the major
International Film Festivals. We thank Sri Sreeramana for permitting TeluguPeople to
republish 'Mithunam'. Readers may want to know as to what happened around the story
during the intervening period. Read on ... in his own words often punctuated by his own
brand of wit and humour.
