writer

Sriram's entry into Film Industry progressed step by step. After proving himself as a playwright and actor for 20 years through his family’s Mahati Theatre Society, he took the plunge into films as Screen writer in 1988.

L.B. Sri ram wrote dialogues for over 40 films like April 1st Vidudhala, Appula Appa Rao, Seetharatnamgari Abbayi, Hello Brother and Hitler most of which had a successful run in theaters. Awards and titles have chased him than the other way round.

His talent took him to various places in Europe and elsewhere. He fondly remembers being honoured at a festival -- LB Rangasthala Navarasa Naatakotsavam -- where all his seven plays including Lanka Dahanam, Hushkaki and Padmavyuham were staged by well-known theatre luminaries like Misro and Subbaraya Sharma. A book titled LB Rangasthala Rachanabhishekam with the cover page carrying his sketch by Bapu, brought out on the occasion, was the most memorable thing he cherishes.His play Prapancha Tantram was selected by Akashvani and was broadcast on the national hook-up in almost all languages in 1991.

 Career - as an actor

Sri Ram's entry into films, as an Actor, progressed step by step. His acting career started as a guest appearance in several films. But, he got a break as an actor in the year 2000 with the movie Chaala Bagundi which was directed by E.V.V. Satyanarayana . Immediately after the wholesome comedy Chaala Bagundi, he got an opportunity to do a sentimentally emotional film Ammo Okato Thareekhu based on his own play Onteddubandi.

 Awards

Awards and titles have chased him than the other way round. If Ramasakkanodu brought him the Nandi award as a Screen writer, Chaala Bagundi won him the Nandi award for being the best comedian.
