Ranabaali, directed by Rahul Sankrityan, transports viewers to 19th-century South India. The narrative centers on a warrior who rises against British colonial oppression and exploitation of his people. Vijay Deverakonda portrays the titular warrior, Ranabaali, fighting alongside his wife Jayamma, played by Rashmika Mandanna. Their struggle is against British commissioner Sir Theodore Hector, aiming to protect their community. The film's creation involved extensive research, drawing from British gazettes, local folklore, and traditional storytelling methods.
In addition to Ranabaali, Deverakonda has other projects in the pipeline. He is set to star in Rowdy Janardhana, directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, and a romantic action drama tentatively titled VDxShouryuv, with director Shouryuv.
