Shravana Banthu

Shravana Banthu is a 1984 Indian Kannada-language romantic drama film, written and directed by Singeetham Srinivasa Rao.

The film, produced by P. A. Kameshwara Rao, deals with reincarnation as the subject where the lead roles get killed for their romance and then they are shown to be reborn and fall in love yet again in the backdrop of inter-faith marriage.

The singer Kumar (Rajkumar), on a pilgrimage to a temple he saw in his dreams, meets the spirit of his friend Vishwa (Srinath), unrequited from an earlier birth.

The woman from their earlier life, now reborn as Mary, a Christian, is courted by Kumar with the assistance of the spirit.

This segment involves a comic turn when Kumar pretends to have lost his memory and becomes "Peter from Petersburg".
