Chakrapani influenced the Telugu readers with his translations, magazine management and film works in the first half of the 20th century.

He first translated Sarat babu's Bengali novels into Telugu and through them developed in Telugu readers a love for literature in general and family stories in particular.

The monthly magazine Andhra Jyoti broke new ground in proliferating Modern literature, even as the numerous primary texts he published upheld literary values.

Through Chandamama, the monthly magazine, he inculcated in children the habit of reading besides opening the window of their imaginative minds.

Through his stories and films, he simultaneously entertained instructed and inspired the Telugus.

As a story writer, translator, newspaper editor, film writer and producer, Chakrapani was a pioneer and trailblazer in every field he chose to tread.

Velaga Venkatappayya, who wrote this biography of Chakrapani, was born and brought up in Aitanagaram (Tenali). He believed in Chakrapani's principle that there is no secret to success except hard work. He worked in the State Public Library Department and retired. He has published about hundred books in the fields of library science and literature. In recognition of his efforts, he received awards and honors from the Central Government, Andhra Vishwakala Parishad, Potti Sriramulu Telugu University, Andhra Pradesh Sahitya Akademi and many other organizations. He followed the footsteps of Ayyanki in promoting the cause of libraries.

Even now some people in Tenali wish that they had lived during that time, that is, during the first half of the 20th century. The reason behind such a wish is that between 1930 and 1950

•personalities like Sanjeevadev and Konduri mastered painting and sculpture.

Thus many eminent personalities lived simultaneously in Tenali and swayed the whole of Andhra with their treasure of ideas and knowledge.

Chakrapani said "I am an ordinary man. I provide literature for people like me." With this noble intention he entered the literary field and shone there like a blazing Sun. He not only learnt Bengali by himself, but also grasped the nuances of that language. He translated the novels of Sarat babu, and the stories and dramas of other Bengali writers into Telugu. His translations seemed as if they were original Telugu works. He created the illusion that Sarat was a Telugu writer.
