Nag Ashwin Unveils Title of Singeetham Srinivasa Rao’s 62nd Film

Nag Ashwin, acclaimed for his work on 'Mahanati' and 'Kalki 2898 AD', has revealed the title of legendary director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao’s 62nd film. Rao, who passed away last night at the age of 95, was celebrated for his immense contribution to Indian cinema, with classics that have stood the test of time. Even after the release of his 61st film 'Sing Geetham' in June, his creative drive remained undiminished.

According to Ashwin, Singeetham Srinivasa Rao had shared the title of his intended next project in their WhatsApp group: “A Fruit Cuts the Knife.” This intriguing title, as Ashwin noted, is a testament to the director’s ever-curious imagination and his ability to surprise audiences with fresh concepts, even in his nineties. The announcement has sparked curiosity among film enthusiasts, who are eager to know what kind of story Rao envisioned with such a unique title.

Earlier this year, 'Sing Geetham' was celebrated as a unique musical, with Ashwin supporting the project as producer. The collaboration between Rao and actor Kamal Haasan during the film’s promotions was widely discussed in June, highlighting the director’s enduring influence in the industry.

With Rao’s passing, the fate of "A Fruit Cuts the Knife" remains uncertain. Ashwin’s revelation has led to speculation about whether he or another filmmaker might bring this final idea to life, potentially as a tribute to the legendary director’s lifelong passion for cinema.
