Shivarajkumar will play the lead role in the biopic of renowned Telugu politician Gummadi Narasaiah, a role that many Telugu actors had earlier declined.
The film, titled Gummadi Narasaiah, is directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Prameshwar Hivrale. The makers released Shivarajkumar’s first look from the film earlier today. It is planned as a pan-India project and will begin shooting soon.
Fans are thrilled to see Karunada Chakravarthy Shivarajkumar take on the role of Gummadi Narasaiah, one of the most honest and respected MLAs in Telugu politics. Narsaiah won five times as an independent candidate, still travels by bicycle, and continues to live in a simple hut.
While no major Telugu actor agreed to take up this project, Shivarajkumar was deeply moved by the story and decided to portray this inspiring leader.
Gummadi Narasaiah, known as the people’s man, served as an independent MLA from the Yellandu constituency multiple times between 1983 and 2009.
