Future projects for Vijay Deverakonda
Vijay will also appear in the period drama Ranabaali with Rashmika Mandanna. This is their third film together and the first since their marriage. The story is set during the British era in the 19th century. It focuses on real historical events between 1854 and 1878. Ajay and Atul are composing the music for this action drama. Pramod Tammineni has written the script for this big project.
Historical context of Ranabaali
The film Ranabaali is based on events from the 1850s. These stories are often missing from our standard history books. The press release stated, “Ranabaali is inspired by real incidents from the 1850s that never found space in mainstream history books. Based on Real incidents in the time period of 1850-1900, incidents the British strategically misrepresented in History and characters they maligned as Savages and Rebels. This is not a biopic, and not a textbook retelling. Ranabaali is a cinematic reconstruction of an era built from multiple real accounts, oral histories, and suppressed records.” The movie releases on September 11.
