Anthuleni Katha (transl. Never Ending Story) is a 1976 Indian Telugu-language film directed by K. Balachander, starring Jaya Prada, with Fatafat Jayalaxmi, Rajinikanth and Sripriya in supporting roles. Kamal Haasan played a cameo.
The film is a remake of the 1974 Tamil film Aval Oru Thodar Kathai, which was also directed by Balachander.[1] The film was later remade in Bengali as Kabita with Kamal Haasan reprising his role in the film, marking his debut in Bengali cinema.[2] This is Jaya Prada's first starring role, reprising the role played by Sujatha in the original and is considered to be one of her best films. This was also Rajinikanth's first major role. This film was shot in black-and-white.
