Rangasthalam---Thank-You-Letter-to-Ram-Charan-for-Washing-DishesDear Sound Engineer,

Throughout the movie, Chitti Babu kept on repeating that he can’t hear properly.
Ye lo… in reality, he listened to his inner voice and accepted to transform into the lovable, adorable, naive but menacing Chitti Babu. What a transformation!

Ram Charan! I would rather prefer to address you ‘Chitti Babu’ because unlike Ram Charan, Chitti Babu isn’t a mega hero but a common man who is one among us… eats like us, sleeps like us, has many flaws and doesn’t try to hide his shortcomings… he is definitely one among us.

Even your Ramalakshmi is like us… no fair & lovely caked on the facial skin, doesn’t make us run after those skin whitening beauty products, manicure, pedicure and sometimes even plastic cure… she rather makes us feel beautiful the way we are, raw… dusky and look great with just a smile lighting up our faces.

Chitti Babu! Ekkadunnaavayya Innaallu? Where were you all these 10 years? I want to be cross with you for hiding this heartwarming talent for all these years… but how can anyone be angry with Chitti Babu after all that enduring pain and iron determination?

We knew that you can dance like crazy with ‘Jigelu Rani’ but we never knew that

…you can fill up the entire frame with those expressive eyes… even your thick beard seemed to be expressing something really subtle.

I’m in love with you… only with you Chitti Babu… and I’ll keep loving you as long as you are like that… without those starry airs and make us forget that you are Ram Charan, on-screen.

How could you do that Chitti Babu?

Can’t believe you had zero ego…
when you washed those defiled plates …
when you allowed Ramalakshmi slap you really hard …
when you cleaned the urine packets of your ailing enemy …
…and above all …
when you allowed your biggest shortcoming, your hearing impairment to be made fun of and be exploited for rendering a fulfilling experience for the audiences…

Thank you, Chitti Babu, for inviting us to ‘Rangasthalam‘ and telling us your soul-stirring story… for introducing us to your world …no cell phones, no makeups, no fake smiles…

We are lost in the hues of the rustic locales like we enjoy the smell of the earth when the first raindrop kisses and gets lost in the bosom of the Mother Earth…

By the way, I’m your new fan who wrote an open letter to you expecting you to give us another ‘Swayamkrishi’ and ‘Swathimuthyam’.

Is there any chance you can turn our own Kamal Haasan? We want to proudly show to the world that Telugus have an actor who can meet Kamal Haasan’s stature. Maybe, I’m dreaming high. But, what’s wrong in dreaming high?

Can I dare to dream?

Signing off…

With Big Dreams…

Delighted New Fan

(P.S. Convey my thanks to the dreamer who went to the roots to narrate a story in a realistic backdrop…Sukumar)
