It’s raining biopics in Tollywood! Prabhakar Jaini, who earlier made a film based on popular novel Ampasayya, is now set to direct a biopic on freedom fighter Kaloji Narayana Rao, who was honoured with a Padma Vibhushan by the Central Government.
“Titled Kalanna, the film will showcase the freedom fighter’s childhood, his literary works and his fight for freedom, all of which the present generation should know about,” says the director, adding that pre-production work is going on.

“We are talking to many of the writers associated with Kaloji and getting information about him,” shares Prabhakar, who is also researching independently. “We have gathered inputs from his novels, photos and people who wrote stories on him,” he adds. The film will be shot by cameraman Ravikumar Neerla while Ghantasala Viswanath will provide the musical score.
