Production

[edit]

Rajasekhar shared that he was initially hesitant to take on the role in Talambralu. However, after listening to the story at the insistence of producer Shyam Prasad Reddy, he became intrigued and decided to take the role. He noted that the film's unique aspect was that the antagonist was also the protagonist. Rajasekhar mentioned that during the shooting, his co-star Jeevitha could deliver long dialogues in a single take, while he needed multiple attempts, which left him feeling frustrated and envious. He humorously recalled waiting for a moment when Jeevitha might require a second take, but it never happened.[4]

During the production of Talambralu, Jeevitha jokingly called Rajasekhar a "fraud" on set, referencing his character's deceitful actions in the film.[5] Their love blossomed during this time, as they spent most of their time together at Padmalaya Studios, ultimately leading to their marriage.[6]

Jeevitha's sister, Uma, also made her acting debut in Talambralu in a key role. Despite having no prior acting experience, Uma was persuaded by producer Shyam Prasad Reddy to take on the role. She initially faced difficulties on set, leading to delays and the need for additional training. After the film's release, Uma gained significant recognition, often being compared favourably to Jeevitha. Despite this initial success, Uma's acting career did not sustain due to various challenges, and she eventually left the industry to pursue a different path.[7]

Although Rajasekhar initially thought Jeevitha would get more recognition for her role, he was surprised when he received significant praise for his performance. He also shared an amusing incident where a fan kissed him in the theatre, showing the film's impact. After the success of Talambralu, Rajasekhar went on to star in other hits like Aahuthi (1987) and Ankusam (1989), and eventually married Jeevitha.[4]
