Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 151st film is confirmed to be ‘Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy’ in Surender Reddy direction but is still waiting for an official announcement. Surender Reddy and Paruchuri Brothers are fine tuning the final version of script to assure a sure shot blockbuster project.
Coming to Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy story, he comes from a local chieftain that is Polygar family in Kurnool district and commands 66 villages in Rayalaseema district with a private army of 2000 soldiers. When Rayalaseema was ceded to Britishers by Nizam king, the conflict of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy refusing to share the revenue with district collector Thomas Monroe led to first armed revolt against British in the first Telugu geographic portion. After many battles to catch Narasimha Reddy, finally Britishers caught him in October 1846. Collector Kokcrane hanged Narasimha Reddy on February 22, 1847 publicly and kept the head hanging to Koilakuntla fort for about 30 years till 1877.
Director Surender wants to present both the heroism and brutal hanging of Uyyalawada’s head without any filter. But, how far Mega Fans will accept the tragic ending and that too with Chiranjeevi’s character death is forcing the writers to opt for a new and second climax.
