Sivaprasad Reddy's literary tribute left unfinished!
Reddy had wanted to write a book about his friendship with Nagarjuna.
Producer D. Sivaprasad Reddy, who recently passed away in Chennai, was very close to Nagarjuna and everyone knew this. He made 11 films with the actor and also produced a film with Nag’s son Chaitanya. After incurring huge losses in films, Sivaprasad Reddy settled in Chennai. Interestingly, he had wanted to write a book about his friendship with Nagarjuna. “He had started sometime back and completed 70 per cent of the writing. He wanted to unveil the book on Nagarjuna’s 60th birthday, next year,” says a source who had been close to the late producer.
The two were in touch, even though Reddy had shifted to Chennai. “Before he had started this book, he had told Nagarjuna about it and the actor was happy too,” adds the source. “It was more like an biography of Nagarjuna from the producer’s point of view,” explains the source. Now, it remains to be seen how and when the book will be completed.
