    rather three short films, made by C. pullayya in 1938. _chal mOhanarangA_ is an unique film, totally based on the well known folk song "chal mOhanarangA, and filmed on penTapADu pushpavalli (mother of film actress rEkha) and vaali subbaaraavu (well known Art Director and student of aDavi baapiraaju.). Similarly _kAsulapEru_ is also a short film. It starred: kaaLLakoori hanumanta raavu and sundaramma. The originally planned satyanaaraayaNa vratam starring vaaDrEvu kaamaraaju (he was a lawyer!) and haimavati was only ~ 8000 feet long and because of that reason pullayya made kaasulapEru in addition. Still the duration was < 3hrs and he had to shoot another 2000 ft long film; i.e. chal mOhana rangaa.
