Hello everybody
I have been back on the list for a little while and have briefly read the
archives on various subjects.
This latest topic on G Video is an interesting one. As Sreenivas put it, I
think we all concluded that there is no original video of G. I do not
remember anybody voicing that they had seen a footage of G on a video. That
means, he probably only makes a passing appeareance in films and other, with
the exception of Venkateswara mahatyam in which he sings the song sesha
sailavasa.
I recently watched the begining of the movie Potti pleaderu, produced by the
comedian Padmanabh, in which he actually introduces to the audience, the
various artists who participated in the film. I was pleasantly surprised to
see a somewhat young G who just acknowledges by saying Namaskaram with his
two hands.
I am wondering what other occasions that other members can recall of having
seen G in a scene in a movie or elsewhere; a moving clip of G. A list of
such appearances is all we can put together of G. I hope people can put
their thinking hats and respond.

Theres a (not so
well made) documentary film from early/mid-70s (have seen on 16mm screen)
which contained (very) small bits from one of his live performances.
I wonder if you could shed a bit more light on this, such as was it a
documentary on G or G was only a smal part of it.
Best wishes
