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 with Bommarillu Bhaskar!


























Young tiger NTR seems busy after marriage with 
handful of projects. Now he is acting in two films
 simultaneously. NTR is currently busy with the 
shooting of his new films titled “Oosaravelli” 
under the direction of Surendar Reddy and 
another film titled “Churakatti” under
 Boyapati Srinu direction.
Recently we also heard that Jr NTR has
 also signed a film under the direction of
 Srinu Vytla and another film with writer 
turned director Trivikaram Srinivas.
 Now the latest news is that Jr NTR and
 Bommarillu Bhaskar are all set to work
 together in a movie. Bhaskar is going to 
direct Jr NTR for the first time. 
Earlier he directed the movie like
 Bommarillu, Parugu and Orange. 
Bhaskar’s Orange with Ramcharan 
was a disaster movie and his two film
 Bommarillu and Parugu were benefited
ased in this year and many movies are in
 queue for release soon. We also heard 
earlier that Jr NTR will do a film for 
free of cost for producer Aswinidutt 
after Shakthi movie flop. So Jr NTR
 is keeping busy by accepting many
 films not like other heroes.
