'Sing Geetham,' Rao's 61st directorial project, is set in the fictional kingdom of Kuberapura. The narrative centers on Pratap, who returns to his ancestral village after his father's death. He becomes embroiled in a conflict to protect the village's sole surviving tree, considered the spiritual heart of Kuberapura by Gowri.
