Telugu Talkie era started with Bakta Prahalada (1931). Andhra was not yet been identified as a competent area for cinema shooting so.
The shooting was being done in the places like Kolhapur, Kolkata Studios. In 1936, a studio, by name Durga Cine Town was started in Rajahmundry. It was started by Nidamarti Soorayya whose father Jaladurga Prasad’s name was after it.
Today we find Andhra Bank office in the place once the studio existed. Chittajallu Pullaiah, the first generation director, had a close association with this studio. ‘Sampurna Ramayanam’ was the first cinema to be shot there. More than 20,000 ft. reel was shot here, as, sources say. ‘Satyanarayana Vratam’, ‘Kasula Peru’, ‘Bhaktamarkandeya’, ‘Chal Mohana Ranga’, Mohini Bhasmasura, were but from this very studio.
Durga Cine Town was winded up running short of technical advancement.
