Erum ji..thanks a lot for the info.
Actually Veera Raghavulu is an assistant of Ghantasala. He came to Chennai on being invited by Ghantasala. He remained so loyal to Ghantasala as long as he lived, even as he got many offers from other producers and music directors.
He says in an article that he took care of Orchestration and other details of Films like..." Nartan Shala, Pandava Vanavasam, Lava Kusha...while they were being dubbed into Hindi and Bengali. "
After the demise of Ghantasala, Veera Raghavulu started giving music to some of the memorable films of that era.

Here is an article on him...from a telugu Daily..Will search for the english details on net and post it here...
