The teaser of Chiranjeevi’s period drama Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy revealed on Tuesday afternoon that it was everything his fans had come to expect from it – a glimpse of breathtaking action sequences, production design from a bygone era and above all, one. Roaring Chiranjeevi as freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. For Telugu film lovers, the icing on the cake is the voice of Pawan Kalyan, Chiranjeevi’s brother or ‘power star’ as he is referred to by his fans.
For Agana, the teaser gives the idea that Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy referred to him as ‘the first rebel’ who roared like a lion and led a rebellion against the British East India Company. History has it that Narasimha Reddy led a peasant revolt in Kurnool in the 1840s, long before the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857.
