I remember the days I spent eating just rice mixed with salt, oil, and chili powder. My parents would frequently ask me to come back home as things were not working out. I used to walk 10 km a day to visit various locations to audition for roles. I used to go around carrying my portfolio. I stayed for around seven years with my uncle and then shifted to a room in Indira Nagar with a friend to pursue my interests. I also worked for my uncle on Itlu Sravani Subramanyam, Amma Nana Tamil Ammayi, Idiot, and 143. Ping Pong Surya – I joined as an assistant to my uncle, a cameraman for Naga Babu’s cinema Kauravudu. I completed 10th class with great difficulty and asked my uncle to help me find work in Hyderabad. I had to shift schools but still could not make up my mind to study. I was ridiculed at school every day for running away. It was very embarrassing to face people back home. Ping Pong Surya – It was challenging than you can imagine. Was it difficult to adjust after returning? I didn’t think about the kind of mental agony I would have put my family members through! There were posters with my photos and description in bus stands and railway stations. I realized that my family had spent a considerable amount of their life savings on organizing search parties. However, my family was happy to see me, and there was no punishment whatsoever. Three days later, when I saw my dad, I was trembling, fearing punishment for my misdeeds. Ping Pong Surya – To prevent me from indulging in further mischief, my uncle took me to Naga Babu Sir, who reprimanded me and asked me to complete my studies before trying my luck in cinema. My uncle, who was in Hyderabad, reached me first to get to know about my whereabouts. I spent my time watching film shootings at the studio. A letter reached my family only three days later. So he asked me to stay at the Studio guest house until he sent word to my father. Suresh wanted to reunite me with my family. He took me to Suresh Sir the next day, who was Film Director Krishnavamsi’s associate Director. Srinivas, took pity on me and was kind enough to lend me some food and shelter. I was scared and started crying while sitting in front of the Studio gate. I then reached Annapurna Studios by asking random people for directions. I slept on a bench in Lumbini Park until a security guard waked me up. I walked to tank bund, bought guava with the money I had to satisfy my hunger. I only had 2 rupees in my pocket that my father had given me the day before. I, for the first time, step foot in Secunderabad railway station. Ping Pong Surya – Those were one of the tensest moments of my life. That experience must have been terrifying! To reach the railway station, I had to cross my dad’s workplace, and I was scared that someone might notice my misadventure. I ran 10 kilometers from my home to reach the railway station to board the train. I knew there was a train (Gautami Express) that went to Hyderabad. I left my slippers there to trick my parents into thinking that I was still there.Īll I wanted to do was to somehow go to Hyderabad and reach Annapurna studios. I ran away from home when I was in 7th grade. I was allowed to attend tuition classes just opposite my house, and my mom used to check for my slippers every hour to ensure I was there. My parents were always very protective of me. I was smitten by stories of film sets and actors in Hyderabad.ĭid your parents allow you to pursue acting? We used to watch programs like “Chitralahari” along with neighbors together at one place.
Back then, not everyone used to own television sets.
I used to be punished frequently in school for not taking my studies seriously. Were you interested in acting right from your childhood? My dad used to work at Andhra paper mills. I come from a typical middle-class family trying to balance aspirations and expenses. Ping Pong Surya – I grew up in an area called Shanti Nagar in Rajahmundry. Ping Pong Surya – untold struggle of every character artist We sincerely hope this story would be an eye-opener to bring to your notice the struggle of thousands of character artists out there. We met Surya on the weekend, and a casual chat with him revealed many things that are otherwise widely ignored by the public. We at HatkeStory have always been interested in knowing the challenges one faces to become an established character artist in the Film Industry.
