Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's Historic Novel Anandamath Gets Film Adaptation, Titled '1770'

Hyderabad, August 17 - The historic Bengali novel, Anandamath by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay is getting a film adaptation soon. Titled 1770, the pan-India film will be directed by SS Rajamouli protégé Ashwin Gangaraju and it is being created by author-filmmaker Ram Kamal Mukherjee. ## Ashwin Gangaraju has assisted maverick filmmaker SS Rajamouli in "Eega" and "Baahubali" (both series). He made his debut as a director with the critically acclaimed film "Aakashvani" in 2021. Legendary V Vijayendra Prasad is writing the story and screenplay of "1770". ## "This subject was a huge challenge for me, but with legendary V Vijayendra Prasad sir writing the adapted story and screenplay, I think what we have on paper is a blockbuster cinematic experience", affirms director Ashwin Gangaraju.## "As a filmmaker, I'm more drawn towards the stories which have periodic setups, bigger emotions, scope for larger than life action, etc and this is something that sits in perfectly for me. Initially, I was a little skeptical but I spoke to Ram Kamal Mukherjee and after listening to his vision I gained confidence", he added. ## The motion poster for "1770" has been released to mark 150 years of Vande Mataram, the song that appeared first in Bankim Chandra's novel Anandamath, which almost shook the roots of the British Empire. "I feel that Vande Mataram was a magical word. It was a mantra that was given by Maharishi Bankim Chandra for a nation to unite against tyranny and injustice. In 1770, we dealt with the story of unknown warriors who ignited the fire of the freedom movement", V Vijayendra Prasad said. ## The movie will be produced by Shhailendra Kkumar, Sujayy Kuttiy, Krishna Kumar B, and Suraj Sharma and they feel that it is a right in India to make larger-than-life cinema. The makers will lock the main lead before Dassera, and by Diwali, they will announce the cast of the film. It will be made in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali.## Based on #BankimChandraChatterjee's #Bengali novel #Anandamath... #VVijayendraPrasad is writing the adapted story and screenplay of #1770TheMovie...

Nazriya Nazim And Mrunal Thakur Leave A Mark On Their Telugu Debuts

Hyderabad, August 13 - The Telugu film industry has witnessed some of the finest performances this year from leading actresses on their debuts. Among the memorable female debuts in Telugu films, Malayalam beauty Nazriya Nazim and Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur have been able to make a lasting impact on Telugu audiences. ## Nazriya made her Telugu debut with the romantic-comedy film, Ante Sundaraniki, which was released on June 10. She played the role of Leela Thomas, a Christian who is a professional photographer. She played the love interest of Sundar (Nani), who comes from an orthodox Brahmin family. The film tells the story of Sundar and Leela, an interfaith couple who try to convince their parents about their marriage through a string of lies only to find themselves in more complicated situations. ## The movie opened to very positive reviews, especially, Nazriya's performance was appreciated the most. Her role was so well written and the actress also made sure she nails the role with perfection. Nazriya brought her own uniqueness to the role while her accent was top-notch. There is cuteness in Nazriya's act which made audiences fall for her, thus making it a performance and Telugu debut to remember for a long time. ## Mrunal Thakur has already proved how good an actress she is with her performances in films like Love Sonia, Batla House, and Jersey, among others. However, the talented actress might have delivered the career-best act in her Telugu debut movie, Sita Ramam, which was released on August 5. ## Sita Ramam is a period love story film that also stars Dulquer Salmaan and Rashmika Mandanna in prominant roles. Set in 1964, Lieutenant Ram (Dulquer), an orphan army officer serving at the Kashmir border, gets anonymous love letters from Sita Mahalakshmi (Mrunal). Ram is on a mission to find Sita and propose his love. ## While the film got a super positive response, it is Mrunal, who stole the show with her impeccable act, which the Telugu audiences can't stop talking about. Despite being a new face in Telugu, Mrunal made sure that the audience love her performance. It was a perfect debut for Mrunal Thakur and has opened many opportunities for her in Telugu. ## Stay tuned...
