A 72-year-old man, Peddi Lakshminarayana, who is being called as ‘Abhinava Bhima’ proved his fitness and talent by stopping two running cars with full acceleration for three minutes. His stunt was organised by Kodi Ramamurthy Memorial Society in Vizianagaram on Monday. Mr. Lakshminarayana has earlier proved his mettle by allowing elephant to put his foot on his chest. He recalled the greatness of Kodi Ramamurthy (1882-1942) who had brought laurels to India in bodybuilding and wrestling. He assured budding wrestlers that wrestling competitions for young bodybuilders of North Andhra region will be conducted to continue the legacy of Kodi Ramamurthy.
