For the director of 'Nenu Nanna Abaddam', the pat given on his back by Dasari Narayana Rao is like receiving Oscar recognition. Govind Varaha is happy with the BO performance of his film. Second week into its release, the film, he says, is well-received across the centres it released.

A protege of Super Good Films, who also worked under Karunakaran (Toli Prema), Govind met Nandu, the film's hero, two years back. It was Nandu who introduced him to the producers, who liked Varaha's script and agreed to produce it.

The adolescent love story, especially the climax, has been liked by one and all. The debutante is happy that audiences are clapping to Yandamuri Veerendranath's dialogues.

He is currently scripting another film, which, in all probability, will go on the floors in November.
