Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy: A celluloid tribute to Uyyalawada

Megastar Chiranjeevi's 151st film has been titled Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and the film's motion poster and title logo were unveiled on the occasion of the actor's 62nd birthday in Hyderabad. Baahubali director SS Rajamouli has released the motion poster and veteran producer Allu Aravind launched the title logo in a festive atmosphere on Tuesday.

The film based on the life of India's first freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy boasts of top actors and technicians across languages and is being mounted on a lavish scale by actor Ram Charan under the umbrella of Konidela Productions. The motion poster shows Uyyalawada and his army attack on a British fort and their contingent thus promising a techno visual extravaganza. The background score composed by SS Thaman too sets the right tone for the historical drama.

Bollywood stalwart Amitabh Bachchan, actress Nayanthara, Jagapathi Babu, Kiccha Sudeep and Vijay Sethupathi are part of the star cast, while Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman wields the baton of music. The film has story and dialogues by Paruchuri Brothers and Cinematography will be handled by Ravi Varman.

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy marks the second collaboration of the father-son duo after this year's first blockbuster Khaidi No. 150. The event held in the presence of hundreds of mega fans also saw the likes of actors Varun Tej, Sai Dharam Tej, and director Sukumar in attendance.
