Nagabala Suresh Kumar is producing the film ‘Komaram Bheem’ under his own direction on Om Sai Teja Arts banner with Integrated Tribal Development Agency, Utnoor as presenter. Vaibhav Surya is playing the title role. Nagabala Suresh Kumar is making the film with 170 experienced artists and 50 technicians with huge budget. Today, i.e. on October 7, the shooting of the film is going on at Bhoot Bungalow in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. On this occasion, the film unit has arranged press meet.
Telangana Housing minister Indra Kiran Reddy, who graced the event as chief guest said, “Adilabad district of Telangana is at the boarder of Maharashtra. Komaram Bheem, who was unwilling to tolerate the suppression of tribal, became warrior and fought against Nizam Government till his last breath. I appreciate Nagabala Suresh Kumar who earlier brought the story of the great tribal leader Komaram Bheem as TV serial, is now making it as a film. Last year, on October 27, on the occasion of Komaram Bheem’s birthday, our state Chief Minister KCR went there and has started the tribal development program with Rs 25 Crores. He loves cine industry and therefore he planned to build a film city at Rachakonda. The stories of several Telangana fighters should be made as films in future.”
Producer and director of the film, Nagabala Suresh Kumar said, “Earlier I have made Komaram Bheem story as TV serial in 70 episodes with the title ‘Veera Bheem’ on this banner. It received good response from the viewers of Doordarshan. Komaram Bheem, who was unwilling to tolerate the suppression of tribal, became warrior and fought against Nizam Government till his last breath. He gave the slogan of Jal, Jungle, Jameen (It means Water, Forest and Land). It means the people who live in forests should have rights on all the resources of the forest. The film is being made with over 170 experience artists. We are presenting the history of the fighter without any controversy and we are sure the film will impress all sects of audience. I hope people belongs to both Telugu speaking states will encourage our attempt.”
Speaking at the press meet, Telangana state adviser Venugopala Chari said, “I don’t know whether he makes profits or not, but Nagabala Suresh Kumar will stand out forever as Adilabad resident. I appreciate him that he brought the history of Telangana fighter Komaram Bheem through serial in the past and now he is bringing it as a film.”
Vaibhav, who played the title role, said, “It’s my privilege to get the opportunity to play the role of great warrior Komaram Bheem. I will be indebted to Nagabala Suresh Kumar garu forever.”
