A message oriented play, very pertinent to the present day society titled Idi Kotha Katha was presented jointly by C. Ramamohan Rao Cultural Organisation and Artists Association of Vijayawada at Gokaraju Laila Gangaraju Kala Vedika. The play was written imaginatively and directed by P.V.N. Krishna. The story deals with the indiscriminate usage of plastic. It is a play mixing fantasy and reality. Sage Narada, seeing the plastic pollution causing the earth enormous pollution and eating away the health of humanity, questions the Bhoodevi what was causing the damage and Bhoodevi tells him that the villain causing it is the plasticasura. Narada tries all his tricks to stop this distruction but in vain. Plasticasura throws a challenge to Narada that if the humanity survives for just one day without using the plastic he himself would show the solution. Narada consults all the representatives of the countries and explains the situation to the Almighty. The almighty who understands the danger facing the humanity in general and preaches a sermon to the humanity telling them to stop the usage of the plastic instantly. The drama was entertaining and gave a message. The characters were played by P.V.N. Krishna (Plasticasura), P. Sai Shanker (Narada), Lakshmi (Bhoodevi), Ch. Jagadeesh (Almighty) and several others who played the minor roles. Before the play began the organisers honoured Madugula Ramakrishna, a veteran stage and radio actor and a senior announcer who retired recently from Vijayawada Akashvani. Ramakrishna was also presented the C. Ramamohana Rao memorial award.
