Vinod Kumar, who carved a special place in the hearts of Telugu audiences with films such as “Kartavyam, Mouna Poratam, Bharat Bandh, People’s Encounter, Maavagaaru, and Seetharatnam Gari Abbayi, is known not only for his performances as a hero but also for his warm and generous nature.

He has always shared a special bond with the people who have worked with him, treating his staff and admirers with affection, respect and genuine concern.

His recent gesture once again reflects the kind of person he is.

Satish, a resident of Tadepalligudem, worked with Vinod Kumar for nearly 20 years as his personal assistant and personal touch-up boy. He later moved to Tadepalligudem, where he settled down and is currently involved in running a security-guard agency, besides managing a hospital owned by his friend.

Despite the passage of time, Vinod Kumar has remained in regular touch with Satish.

Recently, Vinod Kumar visited Tadepalligudem for the shooting of his upcoming film titled “Paradesi”. During his stay, he specifically called Satish over and spent time talking to him. He then went to Satish’s home, spent more than two hours with his family and accepted their hospitality.

Going a step further, Vinod Kumar gave ₹20,000 to Satish’s mother and asked her to buy clothes for herself.

The gesture left Satish deeply emotional as he recalled his long association with the actor.

“I worked with Vinod Kumar garu for 20 years. He never treated me like a worker. Not just me, he shows the same affection and respect towards everyone who works with him. Due to family circumstances, I moved to Tadepalligudem and settled here, but our bond has remained unchanged.

“He calls me two or three times every month to enquire about our well-being. Every year, he sends money for our entire family to buy clothes. Two years ago, when I underwent bypass surgery, he sent me ₹50,000.

“Now, the fact that he came to Tadepalligudem for a shoot, visited our home and spent more than two hours with us made me extremely happy. He even called me to the shooting spot and had me do his touch-up, just as I used to do earlier.

“I will always feel proud that I had the opportunity to work with a great human being like Vinod Kumar garu. He also told me that they are planning to introduce his son as a hero soon.

“Vinod Kumar garu’s son grew up in front of me. I sincerely wish that he becomes an even bigger hero than his father.”

Vinod Kumar’s visit may have been a simple gesture in his eyes, but for Satish and his family, it became an unforgettable moment—one that beautifully reflects the value he continues to place on relationships, long after professional associations have ended.

The grand consecration celebrations of Sri Pattabhiramachandra Swamy Temple, constructed at J.S.R. Nagar in Porumamilla Mandal of YSR Kadapa District, will be held for three days on August 26, 27 and 28. Renowned Telugu film producer Dil Raju will attend the celebrations as the Chief Guest.

The temple was built through the initiative of young actor Vamsi Krishna, with the support and contributions of the villagers, donors, relatives and well-wishers. With a vision to create something meaningful and permanent for his native village, Vamsi Krishna took the initiative for this sacred project. Along with providing the land required for the temple, he also contributed financially and actively participated in the construction along with his family members.

What began as an initiative by Vamsi Krishna soon became a collective effort of the entire village. Donors, relatives and well-wishers extended their support, while the temple committee coordinated the efforts and successfully completed the construction with everyone’s cooperation.

The three-day consecration celebrations from August 26 to 28 will feature special poojas, homams, spiritual activities and cultural programmes. Free Annadanam (food service) will also be arranged for all devotees.

Along with renowned producer Dil Raju, local MLA Dr. Dasari Sudha, MLC Govinda Reddy, TDP In-charge Suryanarayana Reddy, YSRCP Additional In-charge Viswanatha Reddy, producers Sriramulu Jadapolu and Haimavathi Jadapolu, along with other public representatives, film personalities, village elders, donors, relatives and well-wishers, are expected to participate in the celebrations.

The organisers stated that the journey will not end with the completion of the temple. Instead, this marks the beginning of a new spiritual journey. They have planned to develop the temple as a permanent spiritual centre where Sri Rama Navami and other important spiritual and cultural programmes will be celebrated every year with the active participation of the entire village.

The vision of Vamsi Krishna, his family members, the villagers and the temple committee is for Sri Pattabhiramachandra Swamy Temple to become a spiritual platform that brings together village elders, families, youth and future generations.

The temple committee expressed its heartfelt gratitude to every donor, villager, relative and well-wisher who contributed their money, time, effort and service towards the construction of the temple.

The temple committee warmly invites all devotees to attend the Sri Pattabhiramachandra Swamy Temple Consecration Celebrations on August 26, 27 and 28, along with their families, and seek the divine blessings of Sri Pattabhiramachandra Swamy.

Jai Sri Ram! 🙏🚩
