He directed a 100 films, which is a rare achievement. Most of his film are on social issues. Now, his daughters want to continue his legacy. They want to start their own production house,” says the source. “They have closely observed their father, so they know all about filmmaking, including the difficulties,” the source said, adding that the two women have approached a young actor and an official announcement is on the cards. It may be recalled that Pravallika, Ramakrishna’s younger daughter, recently married Chandru Mahesh.
