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

I respect Manchu family: Taapsee





















Delhi girl Taapsee who was introduced to Tollywood
by Lakshmi Manchu
 through her film ‘Jhummandi Naadham’ rubbished new
 reports that she
 criticized Manchu family. Taapsee reportedly refused to
do a film suggested
 by Lakshmi Manchu recently and a few gossip websites
and news channels
 reported that all is not fair between Manchu family
and Taapsee.
Infact Manchu family supported Taapsee in the initial
stages of her career. Not
 only did Lakshmi Manchu cast her in her film
‘Jhummandi Naadham’ with
 younger brother Manchu Manoj as the hero
 but also another brother
 Vishnu Manchu cast her in his own movie
‘Vasthadu Naa Raju’. Infac
 Taapsee used to stay with Lakshmi in her
 house.
However, Taapsee has clarified that all
 the reports of her criticizing 
Manchu family are false and rubbish.
“I have not been offered any film like
 that and I have not refused to
 do a movie suggested by Lakshmi.
 I have high regards for Mohanbabu 
uncle and his family. I don’t know
 who thinks and puts up such news

take up a project or not is completely
 between me and my producers. If the
re is no hot news, don’t cook up
 news” Taapsee posted online.
Taapsee now is one of the leading
actresses in Telugu with Krishna Vamsi’s
 film in her kitty. She has a movie in
Tamil, one in Hindi  and one each in 
Kannada and Malayalam also.
