Megastar Chiranjeevi has done a couple of experimental films in his career spanning over four decades. He has always inclined to doing mass-friendly and commercially viable films.
He didn't even make an attempt to do Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy film despite it being one of his dream projects.
Chiranjeevi chose to remake a commercial film like Katthi for his re-entry. He has proved that he is always an emperor when it comes to Telugu cinema box office with Khaidi No. 150.
And finally after doing 150 films, Chiranjeevi stepped into the shoes of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy and his son Ram Charan made sure to get everything in place for this magnum opus.
Ram Charan entrusted in Surender Reddy's capabilities of handling such a gigantic movie and his belief in him seems to have paid off looking at the grand visuals of Sye Raa.
The much awaited movie is releasing today amid mega expectations. It is going to be a test for the Megastar as it is releasing in Non-Telugu markets too.
