Synopsis
The film is a historical drama based on the life of Sangolli Rayanna, a prominent freedom fighter from Karnataka. He was the army chief of the kingdom of Kittur ruled by Rani Chennamma and fought the British till his breath.
Rayanna, born in the small village Sangolli, belonged to the Kuruba Gowda/ Dhangar warrior caste. He was captured by treachery and hanged in Nandagad in Khanapur Taluka (37km from Belgaum).
Darshan plays the lead role; veteran actress Jayaprada plays the role of Chennamma and Nikitha plays the female lead. It is reported that Darshan went on a strict diet before the shoot began to fit the role of a warrior in the film. The big-budgeted epic film was in the making for the longest time.
