Bhageerathudu On YSR's Life Ready For Release

"I have never been inclined to movies but I wanted to translate YS Rajasekhara Reddy's life onto the screen. I had done a lot of research for that and this film is my tribute to him," says producer and director of Bhageerathudu, Giri Reddy. He adds after YSR won the election in 2009 he met him and told him that he wanted to make a film on his life, the leader smiled and patted his shoulder and from then onwards he started preparing the script. His death moved the director and says Bhageerathudu is a three generation story, begins with YS Raja Reddy's life and ends with Jagan's Odarpu Yatra. It is being released on Wednesday, September 1st, with 80 prints.

Update: Bhageerathudu has been postponed to September 2nd due to technical reasons.
