Trivikram Srinivas (Telugu: త్రివిక్రమ్ శ్రీనివాస్) born Akella Naga Srinivas Sarma (November 7, 1972) is a dialogue writer turned screenwriter and film director in Telugu Cinema.^[1][2]

Early life[link]

Trivikram was born in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh into a Telugu Vaidiki Brahmins family. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Physics from DNR College in Bhimavaram.

His excellent teaching skills made an easy way for him to become a tutor.

While teaching comedian Gautam Raju’s children, he developed contacts in the industry. Swayamvaram was the first film for which he got a chance to frame dialogues. But the movie Nuvve Kavali released before that and became his debut with dialogues. The dialogues of his first releases which echo the most are Chirunavvutho, Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, Malliswari and Manmadhudu.

Nuvve Nuvve was his critically acclaimed directorial debut. But it was Athadu that strengthened his rank and position by roping in the Filmfare Best Director Award for him. He has also directed Jalsa. The director has done playback singing for Nuvve Nuvve.

Trivikram Srinivas has won the Nandi Award for Best Dialogue Writer five times for his dialogues in the movies Chiru Navvutho, Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, Nuvve Nuvve, Malliswari and Athadu.

Career[link]

Trivikram never had plans to write film dialogue, but instead had an interest in directing.^[1][2] Sunil, a friend and former roommate from college, introduced Trivikram to T.D.V. Prasad, who asked Trivikram to write the dialogue for the climax scene of the movie he was working on. Prasad, impressed with the result, then asked Trivikram to work as an assistant to director K. Vijaya Bhaskar. It was during this project the Trivikram received an offer to write dialogue for the movie Swayamvaram.^[1][2]

Although Swayamvaram was the first movie for which Trivikram wrote dialogue, but Nuvve Kavali, was released first.^[3] Trivikram went on to write dialogue for Chiru Navvutho, Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, Malliswari and Manmadhudu.^[1]

And though known as a dialog writer, Trivikram also penned lyrics for the Oka Raju Oka Rani movie, and sang the song Computersu Artsu Scienceu in the film Nuvve Nuvve.^[1][2]

This was followed by the critically acclaimed film Athadu, rated highly for its technical standards.^[4] Athadu collected a distributors' share of Rs.220 million in its total run, thus becoming the 2005 box office hit in Tollywood.^[1] Its satellite rights were sold for Rs.18 million. Following upon its initial recognition, the film was dubbed into Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi, as well as being dubbed into Polish for a release in Poland as a Poszukiwany, becoming the first Telugu film released in Poland.^[1]. The assassination scene of political leader in the movie "Athadu" has been used in hollywood movie " The International" released a couple of years later.

Trivikram's film Jalsa became the most anticipated film of the year 2008, with a release of 320 prints in 1000 theaters. The film's audio rights were sold to Aditya Music for 90 lakhs, the highest for a Telugu film ever in the recent times. Jalsa became a major hit at box office by grossing 30 Crores in its whole run.^[1] Jalsa was followed by Khaleja released on October 7, 2010, for which Trivikram directed Mahesh Babu in two Thums Up soft drink commercials to assist in promoting the film.^[5]

Recognition[link]

Of Trivikram's work on Nuvvu Naaku Nachav, Fullhyd.com wrote "The highlights of the film are all the original humor and the subtlety in approach so alien to Tollywood. The dialogue writer, Trivikram Srinivas, is perhaps the real hero in this one."^[8]

The Hindu compared Trivikram favorably with Shankar, noting that while Trivikram "started his career as a filmmaker with a light-hearted film Nuvve Nuvve", and has been known for "his light-hearted scripts and dialogues, his work on the action film Athadu is "said to be on par with such Hollywood flicks."^[9]

When Prasad was five years old, his parents placed him under the tutelage of a Moulavi, an accomplished Muslim scholar, to learn the Persian language, Hindi and arithmetic. After the completion of traditional elementary education, Prasad was sent to the Chapra District School and at a small age of 12, he was married to Rajavanshi Devi.

A devoted student as well as a public activist, he was an active member of The Dawn Society.^[3] It was due to his sense of duty towards his family and education that he refused to join Servants of India Society. Prasad was instrumental in the formation of the Bihari Students Conference in 1906 in the hall of the Patna College.It was the first organization of its kind in India and produced some of the eminent leaders of Bihar like Dr. Anugrah Narayan Sinha and Sri Krishna Singh.

Career[link]

As a teacher[link]

Rajendra Prasad served in various educational institutions as a teacher. After completing his MA in economics, he became a professor of English at the Bhumihar Brahman College (Now Langat Singh College) in Muzaffarpur, Bihar and went on to become the principal. However later on he left the college for his legal studies. In 1909, while pursuing his law studies in Kolkata he also worked as Professor of Economics at Calcutta City College. In 1915, Prasad appeared in the examination of Masters in Law, passed the examination and won a gold medal. He then completed his Doctorate in Law.^{[citation needed]}

Role in the Independence Movement[link]

(Sitting L to R)Rajendra Prasad and Anugrah Narayan Sinha during Mahatama Gandhi's 1917 Champaran Satyagraha

Prasad had formally joined the Indian National Congress way back in the year 1911. During the Lucknow Session of Indian National Congress held in 1916, he met Mahatma Gandhi. During one of the fact-finding missions at Champaran, Mahatma Gandhi asked him to come with his volunteers. He was so greatly moved by the dedication, courage, and conviction of Mahatma Gandhi that as soon as the motion of Non-Cooperation was passed by Indian National Congress in 1920, he retired his lucrative career of lawyer as well as his duties in the university to aid the movement.

He also responded to the call by Gandhi to boycott Western educational establishments by asking his son, Mrityunjaya Prasad, to drop out of his studies and enroll himself in Bihar Vidyapeeth, an institution he along with his colleagues founded on the traditional Indian model.^[4]

During the course of the independent movement, he interacted with Dr Rahul Sankrityayan, a writer, and polymath. Rahul Sankrityayan was greatly influenced by Prasad's intellectual prowess, finding him to be a guide and guru. In many of his articles he mentioned about his meeting with Sankrityayan and narrated about their him. He wrote articles for the revolutionary publications Searchlight and the Desh and collected funds for these papers. He toured widely, explaining, lecturing, and exhorting the principles of the independence movement.^{[citation needed]}

He took an active role in helping the affected people during the 1914 floods that struck Bihar and Bengal. When an earthquake affected Bihar on 15 January 1934, Prasad was in jail. During that period, he passed on the relief work to his close colleague Anugrah Narayan Sinha.^[5] He was released two days later and set up Bihar Central Relief Committee on 17 January 1934, and took the task of raising funds to help the people himself. During the May 31, 1935 Quetta earthquake, when he was forbidden to leave the country due to government's order he set up Quetta Central Relief Committee in Sindh and Punjab under his own presidentship.

He was elected as the President of the Indian National Congress during the Bombay session in October 1934. He again became the president when Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose resigned in 1939. On 8 August 1942, Congress passed the Quit India Resolution in Bombay which led to the arrest of many Indian leaders. He was arrested from Sadaqat Ashram, Patna and sent to Bankipur Jail. After remaining incarcerated for nearly three years, he was released on 15 June 1945.^{[citation needed]}

After the formation of Interim Government of 12 nominated ministers under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru on Sep 2 1946, he got the Food and Agriculture department. Later, he was elected the President of Constituent Assembly on 11 December 1946. Again on 17 November 1947 he became Congress President for a third time after Jivatram Kripalani submitted resignation. Two and a half years after independence, on January 26, 1950, the Constitution of independent India was ratified and Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected the nation's first President.^{[citation needed]}

Prasad acted independently of politics, following the expected role of the president as per the constitution. Following the tussle over the enactment of the Hindu Code Bill, he took a more active role in state affairs. In 1962, after serving twelve years as the president, he announced his decision to retire. After relinquishing the office of the President of India on May 1962, he returned to Patna on 14 May 1962 and preferred to stay in the campus of Bihar Vidyapeeth.^[6] He was subsequently awarded the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian award.

He died on 28 February 1963.^[7]
