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

Nara Lokesh Becoming Producer???



















Nara Lokesh, the son of Chandrababu
 Naidu has got no separate identity till now. Even the 
people cannot connect to him as grand son of NTR
 instantly. But he has thezeal to get into politics. 
In stead of doing that as son of Chandrababu, 
he has chosen a different line He wants to get identity in
 public now. So he is entering into film industry
 first as producer. If he gets recognition as film personality,
 then people recognize him better.

This idea was liked by Chandrababu as well. Hence he waved the yellow flag for
 his son it seems. So very soon we see Nara Lokesh Naidu as film producer.

These days even the B grade and C grade producers are getting identity with 
just one or two films. Then it is obvious that Chandrababu's son gets better 
scope to gain popularity very soon.
