I strive to be a better person: Gandham Nagaraju
Gandham Nagaraju is not new to success. It’s just that we are hearing about him for the first time. This 36 year old talented man is a principal of a PG college in Khammam. His body of work includes two novels and 25 stories. While the novels have been published in Swaati the stories 23 out of the 25 have won prizes. In 2006 he got the Nandi for the best writer category. Gamyam is his second film and earlier he had written for the dubbed version of Morning Raaga.
Nagaraju is modesty personified and refuses to take credit for the dialogues in Gamyam. He says, “ I need to express myself but the platform has been provided by this very young director to whom I’m indebted.†The writer’s ambition is not to scale heights in his career but as the dialogue in the film goes, he wants to be a human, remain humane for the rest of his life. Manishi manishi avatam chaala kastamâ€
He adds that he doesn’t like self centred people and goes on to describe Sharwanand’s character in Gamyam. “God couldn’t be there everywhere so he created a human being and there is something else too. If a donkey were to be given hands, it would go to an extent of showing god like a donkey. So Sharwanand’s role was basically that of a donkey, he did not care for anyone, all he wanted is his love. Whereas Naresh says..feed me twice and give me some faith, I’ll show you a human.â€
The writer says we should be thankful to kammula and Krish for erasing the misconception that tamil film makers had on us …they would say…one opening scene, one song, 2 fights, and telugu cinema is complete. There is a lot of change taking place and it’s a welcome sign.Nagaraju opines that he is not a professional writer and all he likes here in the film industry is interacting with good directors because life is a learning process and creativity springs from mingling with good humans. Money has never been his priority and if at all he is aiming at something it is to work for two good films which will remain immortal in a collection of good DVDs.
Though he worked as a writer for the telugu version of Raagam, Nagaraju has no faith in off beat cinema. He did it for purely personal reasons and adds that one should give what the audience wants in a way that interests them without being vulgar.
Gandham Nagarju is a breath of fresh in telugu cinema industry and one should notice the positive feeling, thinking he reflects in his work. Before signing off ask him what his goal is and he quips, “marokari meedha saadinche aadhikyata na goal kaadhu. I try to compete with myself and I strive to be a better person.â€

It is very interesting to know about this man Nagaraju. the film “Gamyam” is really wonderful for its dialogue and the philosophy it conveyed. the review by Y. Sunita Choudary is apt.
