Prabhas and Hanu Raghavapudi’s film on Razakar movement
Director Hanu Raghavapudi recently attended an event at NIT in Warangal, where he revealed his upcoming project with Prabhas. Talking to the audience about his films, he said, “My next film with Prabhas is a period action movie with an alternative narrative of history.”
Intriguingly, the film is rumored to be a period action drama centered around the infamous Razakar movement. However, there has been no official confirmation of this speculation by the makers.
Hanu Raghavapudi made his debut as a director back in 2012 with the film titled Andala Rakshasi. Then, he achieved great success with his previous release, Sita Ramam, starring Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Rashmika Mandanna in prominent roles. Following the overwhelming success of Sita Ramam, he pitched a story to Prabhas.
For those unfamiliar, the Razakars were a private militia organized by Qasim Razvi that supported Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII, and opposed the integration of the Hyderabad State into India. Eventually, the Indian army defeated the Razakars and led to the disbandment of the group after the country’s annexation of the state.
