Rajanna inspired by the life story of Suddala Hanumanthu...!!!

We do notice statues of local heroes when we visit villages in Andhra Pradesh. Few of these statues belong to neither politicians nor well-known freedom fighters. These statues are of unsung heroes who fought for their freedom and for their land. One such local hero is Suddala Hanumanthu (father of national award winning film lyricist Suddala Ashok Teja). He is a poet from Nalgonda region who fought against Rajakars to save the land of his village-men.

As per the sources of idlebrain.com, story of Nagarjuna’s forthcoming film Rajanna is based on the life story of Suddala Hanumanthu and is about the revolution he led to oppose the oppression by the Rajakars in the post-independence era when Hyderabad’s Nizam state was yet to join the Union of India. The time period during which the story happens is 1950’s and 1960’s.




Vijayendra Prasad who had been the backbone of many of SS Rajamouli’s successes is wielding megaphone for this movie. Impressed with the unique content, the producer Supriya Yarlagadda is producing this movie on big scale with lot of rich sets on her prestigious Annapurna Studios banner.




There have been rumors spread in media that this film is on Telangana movement. But it is not true. The producer has taken a few incidents that happened in Nizam rebellion time and used the Razakar movements as the backdrop. The story is about a man fighting for the land and fighting for the people.
