RRR: Get To Know More About The Film

In 1922, Alluri Sitaram Raju, an Indian freedom fighter, directed the Rampa Rebellion against British Raj for imposing the 1882 Madras Forest Act. Which heavily limited the tribal community’s mobility in their own forests. The public was also unable to fully implement the conventional Podu farming techniques, that were implicated in shifting cultivation. As a result of the repercussions of this Act.

The armed resistance ended violently in 1924, just before Raju was apprehended by police, chained up, and shot by a firing squad. His valor earned him the title Manyam Veerudu, or “the warrior of the jungle.”

Another revolutionary, Komaram Bheem, had evaded capture and was now working on tea cultivation in Assam. Here, he learned regarding Alluri’s rebellion and discovered renewed motivation to safeguard the Gond tribe to which he rightfully belongs. Presently, a century later, National Film Award-winner S S Rajamouli is tying these two historical threads together.

The film will take place outside of their significant contribution in leading revolts against injustice. Rather, it attempts to create a fictional timeline in which the allied leaders might become friends and their own lives might have intersected. The film, established in the 1920s. Will delve into a short period of obscurity before those figures took the role of freedom fighters.

Jr NTR will play Bheem in the new documentary, that is set to be released in January next year. It is worth noting that perhaps the portrayal has stirred outrage due to a newly released movie clip. Wherein the actor playing Bheem wanders into the frame wearing white, with a skull cap and Surma. Although some have claimed that it’s “portraying a Hindu nationalist as a Muslim,” Gond representatives have voiced their dissatisfaction. With the “messed up portrayal” of the pioneer, while rejecting that Bheem was indeed a Hindu leader.

Alluri has received well-deserved admiration and respect; he was the main topic of a famous Telugu film. His birthday is celebrated as a government festival in Andhra Pradesh. In the meantime, Bheem has emerged as a pivotal figure in Adivasi organizations and Telugu culture.
