What Pushed Chiru To Make Uyyalawada Bigger?

What everyone thought as a local film is now getting a pan-Indian touch as the makers of “Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy” haven’t just decided to hike the budget, but also planning to make the film a trilingual and feature Bollywood leading ladies as the legendary freedom fighter’s wives.”Success of Baahubali 2 has proved how big the Indian film market is. And at the same time, Uyyalawada is an inspiration even for the likes of Jhansi Lakshmi Bhai and Alluri Seethama Raju. They have uttered his name many times. Looking at this, we felt like the film should be told to maximum audiences in their own language” says Megastar Chiranjeevi, as he preps for the role.

A story that is familiar with many Indians is what mainly pushed Chiru to take up the story of this rebel who fought with the British government and got his head hanging on fort’s wall for two decades. “Uyyalawada is the one who inspired many others to revolt against the British. So that’s the origin of our freedom fighting movement. And that’s why we are putting even better budgets on the movie, such that the look and feel will be more realistic” he added.

Produced by Ram Charan on Konidela Productions banner as Production No.2, this film is being carved by Surender Reddy, while Paruchuri Brothers wrote the script and Sai Madhav Burra is providing dialogues. The film will be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi while consultations are in process to rope in Bollywood’s biggies as leading ladies.
