It was Gulte that first broke the news last month that Rana Daggubati was in talks to star in the biopic of notorious dacoit, Tiger Nageswara Rao. The project has now been green lit and the regular shooting will commence next month.
The biopic deals with the life and times of Tiger Nageswara Rao, a ruthless robber from Stuartupuram village, belonging to Yerukala tribe, that was declared ‘criminal tribe’ by the British colonial rulers. Tiger turned to robberies in the 70s. Along with his accomplices, he has broken into various houses, shops and a couple of banks in Tirupathi, Kalahasti, Vizag and Hyderabad as well. After evading police many times, even from their custody, ‘Tiger’ was shot dead in 1987.
Despite its the story of a robber, Rana had no qualms in signing the biopic as he found the character of Tiger very challenging to portray. Noted producer Anil Sunkara will bankroll this film to be directed by Vamsi Krishna of “Kittu Unnadu Jagratha” fame.
The film will go on floors in February. More details about this exciting biopic will be revealed soon.
