Icchapurapu Amrutha Rao (aka Amrutham, played by Sivaji Raja, Naresh and Harshavardhan in different episodes) is the main character of the serial. He is an innocent, gullible middle-aged man. He owns a restaurant called Amrutha Vilas (renamed to New Amrutha Vilas and New Amrutha Terrace Vilas at later points in the serial) in Hyderabad. He dreams of making it big with his restaurant business but each "innovative" step he takes towards that only ends up in losses or at best, breaking even. Aamudaala Anjaneyulu (aka Anji, played by Gundu Hanumanta Rao) is Amrutham's partner-cum-chef in the restaurant business. He is a sharp yet gullible middle-aged man. He stays next to Amrutham's residence and is a family friend. He gives a lot of out-of-the-box ideas to improve the business. Often, they end up in a disaster. Sanjeevini (aka Sanju, played by Jhansi, Uma Mahanti, Supraja, Anita Chowdary in different episodes) is Amrutham's wife. She is a house-wife and occasionally helps Amrutham run the business. She is ambitious and smart. She mostly stays in the village to take care of her child. Aamudaala Santha (aka Santha, played by Ragini) is 'Anji's' wife. She is an employer in the AG office and occasionally helps Anji & Amrutham to run the business. She is ambitious yet smart. Her son 'Maruthi' studies in other town. Gongali Appaji (aka Appaji, played by Sivannarayana) is the owner of all the houses that Amrutham runs the restaurant in. He is an annoying miser who imposes unreasonable and unlawful penalties on his tenants. He does not let anyone cook at his home and takes parcels from Amruth Vilas for free by virtue of being the owner of the house. He wears colorful clothes and a gold coated wide belt. The belt is unique and passed on as a heritage in his family. It is often a point of fun in the serial. In the 282nd episode titled "Belt Bhagavatam", it is revealed that anyone who touches the belt becomes cruel, selfish and sadistic. Sarveswaran (aka Sarvam, played by Inturi Vasu) is an all-rounder at the restaurant. He cooks, serves, cleans and occasionally handles the bill counter. He comes from Tamilnadu and has a distinct Tamil accent of Telugu. He is a huge fan of Rajinikanth and is very loyal to Amrutham. He is very innocent and gullible too. He falls in love with Appaji's daughter, Umadevi. Umadevi (played by Bhargavi in some episodes) is a smart girl who hates his father's selfish nature and wants to marry a middle-class and hard-working person. Obviously, this is against Appaji's wishes and this forms the topic of many episodes. Parandhamayya (played by Devadas Kanakala) is the Amrutham's father-in-law. He is a noted political figure in his town and an agriculturist. He dislikes his son-in-law for his inability to properly perform any task assigned to him. He keeps his daughter and grandson with him to protect them from the problems that Amrutham invites. His other daughter, Padmini (aka Paddu, played by Swati) is very smart and unmarried. For a while, she stays with her sister and brother-in-law for studying in a university. Sundaram is also a server who joins Amrutha Vilas when Sarvam dreams of going to Canada. Although Sarvam does not go to Canada, Sundaram continues to stay there until the last episode. Sundaram is from Srikakulam and has a strong Srikakulam accent. He is gullible like Sarvam and is devoted to Sarvam. [edit]Creation Gangaraju Gunnam is the creator, writer and producer for the serial. His writing revolves around the Telugu language, puns, social and political issues. It is clean and devoid of any references to child-unsafe topics. Therefore, Amrutham had audience ranging from kids to senior citizens and has always been No.1 when it was broadcast. [edit]Direction
As many as 11 new directors debuted with this serial.[1] Chandra Sekhar Yeleti who also debuted with this serial became a noted director with the critically acclaimed movies like Aithe and Anukokunda Oka Roju. Inturi Vasu, who acted as Sarvam in the serial, directed majority of the episodes in the serial. [edit]Telecast The serial was popular since it first aired in 2001. It was broadcast in Gemini TV on Sundays at 8:30pm. After the series ended in 2007 at its 313th episode "Tata Bye Bye Veedukolu", it's re-runs were aired on Zee Telugu at 9:00pm and Maa TV at 7:00pm on weekdays. It was re-telecast on Gemini TV on weekdays at 10:30pm. This serial is being retelecast on [Maa TV associate Channel] Maa Gold at 10:00pm from Monday to Friday. The shows reruns continue to garner high TRP ratings. [edit]Sivaji
Raja controversy
Actor Sivaji Raja demanded more compensation after the first year of broadcast. By then, the serial had already become the most watched Telugu serial. When the producer rejected the demand, he walked out of the serial and tried to re-create the serial on another channel. However, that serial bombed and the original continued for more than 200 episodes after him. Describing the issue, Gangaraju said that "Sivaji Raja is a sick and greedy man".[2] Later they had to reduce the budget due on the channel's demand and replaced the noted actor-politician Naresh with Harshavardhan.
