Venkatesh’s ‘Narappa’ up for re-release on special day

‘Narappa’ was released on July 20 last year directly on Amazon Prime. Directed by Srikanth Addala and produced by the Kalaipuli S Thanu-Suresh Babu duo, the film is gearing up for a re-release this December 13.

It is going to be a one-day release to mark Victory Venkatesh’s birthday. The senior actor is in form, thanks to the theatrical success of his release ‘F3’ in Summer this year.

‘Narappa’, a remake of a Tamil movie, has its story set in Ramasagaram, a small village where the social hierarchy is oppressive. Narappa (Venkatesh) owns a family land, which is sought to be grabbed by the richest man in the village, Pandusami (Naren). Munikanna (Karthik Ratnam), the elder son of Narappa, rebels without the knowledge of his father. This sets off a chain reaction in which Sinappa (debutant Rakhi as Narappa’s 16-year-old son), wife Sundaramma (Priyamani) and brother-in-law Basavayya (Rajeev Kanakala) have huge stakes. An existential drama follows.

The film was critically acclaimed upon its OTT release last year.
