Merupu

Lightning) is a 1996 Indian Telugu romantic thriller film, written by Ganapathi Rao Kommanapall and directed by Gopichand Nadella.

The film was later dubbed and released in Tamil as Miss Madras by Sai Bhagyashree Films, and titled as such owing to the actress's triumph at the Miss Madras beauty pageant in 1994.

During the making of the film, the writer Kommanapalli Ganapathi Rao associated with newcomer Trivikram Srinivas on working on the script and the pair worked together for ten days.

Srinivas later became disassociated with the project as a result of not being paid and the team's shift to shoot portions in Gandipet.
