Anantapur History

Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the prehistoric past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anaatasagaram' , a big tank, which means "Endless Ocean". The villages of Anaantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anaantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name.
Anantapur is familiarly known as "Hande Anantapuram" . ' Hande ' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family.
The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Cuddapah, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palergar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50,000.
It then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. Tipu hanged all the male members of the Siddappa family except Siddappa who escaped from his confinement at Srirangapatnam. After Tipu's death, it was once again taken back by Siddappa. Siddappa submitted himself to Nizam because of the treaty of 1799, who took the total control of the area. He was later pensioned off when British occupied the territory

Jr NTR's Money Problems After Marriage





Jr NTR is acing several problems after marriage. Well, that is not due to external force but by internal pressure.
Sources say that Jr NTR wants to earn bigger to stand on par with his uncles and father in law. He is no way willing to look financially less powerful when compared to them. Hence he is ready now to agree for any script if the remuneration is promised up to Rs 9-10 Cr. He is also desperately signing the commercial Ads contracts.

On the other hand he is also getting ready to start an own production house for self identity. He is taking the help of Narne Srinivas, his father in law, to project it as the richest banner in Tollywood.

There is a saying, “A man has to get the bride from poorer family and a girl has to be given for richer family”.

But here Jr NTR got the bride who is many times richer than him. Jr NTR has to compromise on several factors with this. It’s all the outcome of Chandrababu’s selfish decision of keeping the rich and influential Kammas close to him.
