Prana Snehithulu (transl. Lifelong friends) is a 1988 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. It is a remake of the 1987 Hindi film Khudgarz, which itself was based on Jeffrey Archer's 1979 novel Kane and Abel. The generous borrowing had prompted Archer to call Bollywood directors “a bunch of thieves” for stealing his storylines.[2] The film stars Krishnam Raju, Sarath Babu and Radha.
