Current Word Count Check:
P1: ~45 words.
P2: ~30 words.
P3: ~35 words.
Total: ~110 words.
Problem: The target is 180-260 words. I need to expand using only the provided facts without inventing anything.
Wait, the source material is very sparse. If I only use the provided text, I cannot reach 180 words without repeating myself or being extremely verbose, which violates "encyclopedic prose."
Let's re-examine the sources.
Source 1: Name, birth name, profession, industries, Hindi films, directing debut, archive info, known credits (67), gender, birthday, birth place, aliases.
Source 2: Just a link to a Czech database.
Constraint Conflict: The user wants 180-260 words, but the source material only contains about 80-90 words of unique information. If I strictly follow "Write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported" and "never invent or guess," I cannot reach 180 words without being redundant.
Strategy: I will attempt to expand the prose by being more descriptive of the facts provided, but I must be careful not to add external info.
Revised Draft:
J. D. Chakravarthy, whose birth name is Nagulapati Srinivasa Chakravarthy
