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

Vinayak failed to analyse Rajamouli

Normally any director would come under high tension and get shaken physically when dealing with heavy budget flicks anything above Rs.35 Crores. In addition, if we have some body like Allu Aravind as producer and given the task to direct a film on par with the standards of ‘Magadheera,’ we can understand what could be the situation of VV Vinayak and what could be the position of ‘badrinath.’


Yes, we very well knew as what Rajamouli commented about Geetha Arts and Allu Aravind after the completion of ‘Magadheera.’ ‘I would never wish to work on this kind of colossal projects in future. This film is once for all in my career. Actually none of the directors would love to take the pain which I have undergone.’
Given the budget, number of working days, the magnanimity, kind of storyline…on every aspect, target of ‘badrinath’ will be to reach ‘Magadheera’…which might be done wantedly or unwantedly. Does this mean that Vinayak is also subjected to same kind of mental pressure as Rajamouli? This would certainly assert to Vinayak's failing to understand and analyse the stressed words of Rajamouli as said above.

Of course, it is the final result that matters. Let us wish that ‘badrinath’ stands on equal platform with ‘Magadheera’ or even a step above. Good luck to VV Vinayak and his team
