Kodama Simham is one of those films that defined Megastar Chiranjeevi’s superstardom. Directed by K Murali Mohana Rao and produced by Kaikala Nageswara Rao, the movie is returning to theatres today, bringing back memories from 35 years ago.
As fans celebrate the re-release, an old photo from the film’s 100-day function is making the rounds again. Superstar Rajinikanth was the chief guest at the event, and the picture shows him presenting the 100-day shield to Chiranjeevi. It is a simple moment, but it perfectly captures the warmth and mutual respect between the two icons. Kodama Simham enjoyed a 100-day run in 20 centres, a feat fans still talk about with pride.
The film featured Mohan Babu, Radha, Sonam, Kaikala Satyanarayana, Pran, Sudhakar, Vani Vishwanath, Allu Ramalingaiah, Tiger Prabhakar and several others in key roles. Ramaa Films produced it, and Raj-Koti’s music turned into a chartbuster that audiences still remember.
