Bhamidipati Kameswara Rao (1897–1958) was an Indian writer in the Telugu language, known for his humorous plays.
In that era, many theatre organizations competed for awards in Parishat competitions in verse drama.
Though he joined the government service, economic and family conditions forced him to work as a teacher at Rajahmundry.
[3] He was in the company of great scholars, including legendary literary figures like Madhunapantula Satyanarayana, Chilakamarthi Lakshmi Narasimham, Sripada Krishnamurthy Sastry and Kasi Krishnamacharyulu.
Sahitya Akedemi commissioned Tallavajhula Patanjali Sastry(who is a noted short story writer and is also known for his works on tribal life and culture, theatre, cinema, and music.)
[6] In the book, author Patanjali Sastry gives a detailed picture of the life of Bhamidipati from 1897, his birth year, till he died in 1958.
"Though he wrote comedies, he remained an introvert and never smiled even when someone cracked a joke," informs Patanjali Sastry.
Bhamidipati was greatly influenced by Gurajada Appa Rao’s works, especially for its modernity and use of spoken regional dialect.
