about
Gummadi Vittal Rao popularly known as Gaddar (born 1949) is a pseudonym of a revolutionary Telugu balladeer and vocal Naxalite activist from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. After a stint as a manual worker in a chemical factory, he joined the Art Lovers Association founded by B Narsing Rao, producer of hit Telugu movies such as Maa Bhoomi, Rangula Kala and Dasi. Gaddar acted in the first two films. His political affiliation began when he heard about the Srikakulam armed struggle by tribals in north coastal Andhra under the leadership of the Communist Party of India. Gaddar chose folk art to fight against social inequalities. Narsing Rao directed both the movies Maa Bhoomi and Rangula kala mirroring images of Telangana movement which later went onto achieve Best Regional Film and latter best documentary Award in India.
