	Prabhakar Reddy, character actor, who is famours for his roles as 
	villian in Telugu films died. He was 61.

	He produced some hit films like Gandhi Puttina Desam, Kartika
	Deepam and Pandanti Kapuram. He made the director Lakshmi Deepak
	famous through his films. He is a very good Story writer. All films
	from his banner used to have a neat story plot. 

	Actress Jaya Prada was introduced by him through naku Swatantram 
	Vachindi though her debut was through Bhoomi Kosam. Her actual name 
	was Lalita Rani. Prabhakar Reddy gave her the name of Jaya Prada 
	which is the name of his banner.

	He was associated with IPTA and acted in some very good roles in
	films like "Harischandrudu" produced by Lion Visweswara Rao.
	Except comedy, Prabhakara Reddy did justice to all kind of roles.	

	Thanks and Regards

	Madhu.
