The very title of Akkineni Nagarjuna's forthcoming film, Rajanna, evokes certain curiosity. That it is a period film only raises the interest levels. We will tell you something which is bound to create a hype around the film: Rajanna is going to have lots of action and punch lines. Not just that, the Yuvasamrat is playing a gutsy opponent of the Razakars, a private milita which fought against the inclusion of Hyderabad in India after the country became free from the British. Even a child in the Telugu state would know that the Razakars were bravely fought against by many brave martyrs who laid their lives to free Hyderabad State from their devilish grip.

 

 

It is this in that time and age that Rajanna is set. Directed by Vijayendra Prasad, the film has got much hype around it. SS Rajamouli is choreographing some fight sequences on Nagarjuna and others. Rajanna is in the last leg of shooting and it will be wound up in the second half of August. The producers are planning to release the film as a Dasara gift. The Keeravani musical will be out in the stores in September.
