Andhrawala

Andhrawala (transl. Andhrite) is a 2004 Indian Telugu-language action film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh and starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr. playing a dual role,[2] while Rakshitha, Sayaji Shinde, and Rahul Dev play important roles. Music was composed by Chakri while cinematography was handled by Shyam K. Naidu. This film was simultaneously made in Kannada as Veera Kannadiga with Puneeth Rajkumar, directed by Meher Ramesh. The film created much hype as N. T. Rama Rao Jr. was acting in this film just after the blockbuster Simhadri. However the hype was not met and the movie was a flop at the box office.[3][4]

Plot

Shankar Pehalvan (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.) is a labor leader from Andhra in Mumbai. He fights with the mafia don Bade Mia (Sayaji Shinde). However, Bade Mia later kills Shankar and his wife (Sanghavi). Basha (Banerjee), a trusted lieutenant of Shankar, takes away his child to rescue him from Bade Mia. When mafia goons follow him, Basha leaves the child on a footpath beside a beggar. The boy, Munna (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.), is raised in a slum area. While Basha is in search of Munna to safeguard him, Bade Mia is in search of him to avenge the death of his son (Mahesh Goyani) in the hands of Shankar. Thanks to the similarities in the appearance of father and son, Basha and Bade Mia recognize that Munna is Shankar's son. Munna gets to know his identity and the story of his father and his death from Basha. Meanwhile, Bade Mia's men descend to Hyderabad to kill Munna. Munna goes to Mumbai to confront Bade Mia. The rest of the story is about how Munna kills his family's murderers.
