A Story Rooted in Colonial History

The official announcement of Ranabaali was made earlier on January 26, when Vijay shared the first glimpse of the film on Instagram. At the time, he confirmed that the film would have a theatrical release on September 11. Since then, the project has remained in the spotlight, especially because of the real-life bond between the lead actors.

Set in 19th-century India, Ranabaali is inspired by real-life events believed to have taken place between 1854 and 1878 during British rule. The first glimpse indicates that the film will explore a dark and intense chapter of colonial history. It references large-scale violence, economic plunder, and significant human loss during that period.

With a powerful historical backdrop and the reunion of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda, Ranabaali promises to deliver a compelling cinematic experience. As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the couple who will bring this intense, emotionally charged story to life on the big screen.
