Ahead of Chiranjeevi’s birthday on August 22, the makers of Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, a film on freedom fighter, released a teaser. Watch it here.

Ahead of megastar Chiranjeevi’s birthday on Wednesday, the makers of Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, have released a teaser for the film. It is based on the legendary freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy from the Andhra region who took on the might of the British in the 1800s.

Chiranjeevi plays legendary freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy who fought the British.

Befitting his stature as a major star, the teaser introduces Chiranjeevi as the hero that the oppressed masses have been waiting for. On expected lines, the British are shown as the colonialists oppressors, who, among other things, make Indians bend and serve as a stools for getting off a carriage, as seen in the teaser.

The teaser tells us that this is the story of an “unsung hero” and calls Reddy’s struggle against the British as “India’s first civil rebellion against the British rule”.

It may be recalled that in 1857, sepoys in garrison towns across north and east India revolted against the British. Later, a number of Indian rulers too rose up in an armed rebellion.

To be directed by Surender Reddy, the film also stars Nayanthara, Amitabh Bachchan, Jagapathi Babu, Kiccha Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi, Tamannaah and Brahmaji.
