'Peddha Kapu 1', directed by Srikanth Addala and produced by Dwaraka Creations' Miryala Ravinder Reddy, recovered just 1 to 2% of its budget at the box office. When it was released on September 28, the film turned out to be an epic disaster.
The news is that the film is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Now that it is out on OTT, brace up for political audience members to post certain pro-TDP clippings from the action drama. A few dialogues in the movie are undeniably pro-TDP.
Since elections are coming up in Andhra Pradesh and the political polarization is sharper in the wake of the arrest of Chandrababu Naidu, expect heated online exchanges involving the supporters of YCP and TDP. Since the film is a commercial flop, YCP supporters won't mind trolling its failure.
What is the premise of the film? In the mid-1980s, the establishment of the TDP by NT Rama Rao spawns conflicts in a village dominated by blood-curdling foes, Satya Rangaiah (Rao Ramesh) and Bhaiyanna (Naren). A young worker, addressed as Peddha Kapu (Virat Karrna), takes it upon himself to herald new leadership in the village with the support of the newborn political party. Least does he know that he himself is destined to become the leader. His rise, however, is blighted by unimaginable bloodshed.
