With an undefeated record of over 5000 bouts, Kodi Rammurthy Naidu was awarded the title of ’Indian Hercules and 'Kalayuga Bhima' by King George. The young Kaliyuga Bhima rose like a phoenix in the early 1900’s, when the British Empirical rule was firmly established in India. He was a brave-heart who fought his battles from a sports ring. Wrestling and bodybuilding were natural passions that spurred him to become the undefeated champion of the wrestling world and fuelled India’s independence movement.
Rana Daggubati became a huge fan of Kodi Ramamurthy Naidu as he grew up reading about him in text books. It would be a dream role for the Baahubali star and a fitting tribute to the legendary wrestler from South India.
Rana Daggubati has a series of big spectacle films lined up but this epic, spectacular, action drama is soon to be made in Hindi and Telugu. To be produced in collaboration with a top production house in South and a major international Studio. A top director is already in talks to helm the project and if all goes well, the shooting of the film is soon to start. The story has been registered with the writers’ association and the pre-production is currently in progress.
