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

Bunny gives Double Trouble for NTR


Bunny gives Double Trouble for NTR

Veteran MS Reddy revealed the other dark side of Junior NTR in his book ‘Idee Naa Katha’ by calling him ‘Arrogant’ (Pogarubothu). Before the die hard Nandamuri Fans tried to digest this news, here comes one more blow as media started comparisons between Junior NTR and allu arjun get ups in ‘Shakti’ and ‘Badrinath’ respectively.  While both of them being saviors for temples, there was just a differentiation in terminology, if Tarak was ‘Rakshakudu,’ Bunny was called as ‘Kshetra Palakudu’ but duties being the same.



Undoubtedly an analogy of sorts was inevitable and distinction marks are awarded to Bunny while Tarak stood much below the pass marks. The macho look with exposed six packs and biceps made allu arjun the apt match for ‘Badri’ warrior character while Tarak’s ‘Rudra’ has become comedy stuff. However Junior enjoying more following in masses has dug his own pit with ‘Rudra’ and ‘Shakti’ while allu arjun’s ‘Badrinath’ is almost to face the defeat yet a small respite because the amount of hard work put in for the film is recognized by audience. Timing of ‘Badrinath’ is making Junior NTR to face the double trouble.
