'Kantara' has had a blockbuster run in the Telugu States. Its popularity has touched all sections of society. If any proof was required, it is here.
A government official performed the popular 'Varaha Roopam' song on stage at a culture fest organized for the recreation of the staff of the Andhra Pradesh revenue department in the Vizianagaram district. His name is Prasad Rao, a tahsildar from Kothavalasa.
The performance was authentic, going by a video clip that has surfaced on the Internet. Prasad Rao became a Bootha Kola performer and danced naturally. The District Collector of Guntur was so impressed that he took a selfie with him.
