Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna's period action drama Ranabaali is set for its digital premiere. The film, which arrived in theatres on October 16, will make its way to the streaming platform following its theatrical run.

Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, Ranabaali is set in the 1870s, during British colonial rule, and draws from the history of the Rayalaseema region. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the Great Madras Famine, which devastated several parts of the region between 1876 and 1878. Vijay Deverakonda plays Singanamala Bobbili Ranabaali, a local warrior who rises against the oppressive British administration after witnessing the suffering of his people.

Rashmika Mandanna plays Jayamma, Ranabaali's wife, who stands by him in his fight against colonial rule. The film also features Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo as Sir Theodore Hector, a British commissioner whose actions become central to the conflict. Eeswari Rao, Lal, Vinod Sagar, Madhu Nandan and Kishore Kumar Polimera are also part of the cast.

The film, which will premiere on Netflix on November 13, marks the third collaboration between Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, following Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). It also reunites Vijay with director Rahul Sankrityan after Taxiwaala (2018). The project was mounted by Mythri Movie Makers, with Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar producing it.

Ranabaali attempts to bring attention to a lesser-known chapter of regional history, portraying the hardships faced by people during the famine and the resistance against British exploitation. The film depicts how the colonial administration's policies, including the imposition of heavy taxes and forced labour, intensified the suffering of the people.

The technical crew includes music composers Ajay-Atul, cinematographers Jishnu Bhattacharjee and Nirav Shah, editor Karthika Srinivas R, and production designer Shivam Rao Nagasani. Action sequences were choreographed by Yannick Ben, Andy Long Nguyen and Rabin Subbu.
