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

Can Puri change Mahesh Babu?


 



Can Puri change Mahesh Babu?

Prince mahesh babu might set his ‘Dookudu’ to target theatres in August. It is already quite a long time that audience and Fans are expecting the film but for various reasons the delay is further extended. Will Mahesh ever change his working style with next films that will follow ‘Dookudu’? Can we have at least one year in the near future that will have minimum two movies coming from mahesh babu? 

Some opine that a movie like ‘Puli’ is needed for mahesh babu to get enlightenment. While directors like SJ Suriya and movies like ‘Puli’ will not happen very often, obviously we need to observe mahesh babu’s future from a positive angle. Yes, ‘Businessman’ that will be directed by Puri Jagannath very next to ‘Dookudu’ might give a big break to Mahesh because Puri is known for maintaining strict schedules. Who ever the hero may be and what ever may be his range; Puri Jagannath follows the formula of exercising the task on timely basis without any lag. Given his conduct in controlling the film making with packing of schedules on time, let us wish that mahesh babu enters into top gear with this second time work experience besides Puri.
