Jagadeka Veeruni Katha

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom Udayagiri, its King has two sons Pratap a valiant, & Jagjit a poltroon one that envies his brother. Pratap's life ambition is to knit the angels Indra Kumari, Naga Kumari, Varuna Kumari, & Agni Kumari. Knowing it, the enraged King ostracizes him until he triumphs over his aim. Now, Pratap starts his adventurous journey with the blessings of his mother. Amid, he is acquainted with a clown Rendu Chintalu who helps him to land at a pond wherein the angel’s bathe. Whereat, Pratap secretly spots them when Jayanti Indra Kumari makes him a statue. Here, Parvati appears as an old woman and restores him. Consequently, reveals a secret of Jayanti’s curse to splice a man who steals her saree, and she will stay on earth until he holds it. So, Pratap heists it, which the goddess hides in his leg and proclaims not to hold proceeding to the battlefield. At present, Pratap weds Jayanti and moves to the Kamakura Kingdom where its king Threesoka a debaucher, lusts on Jayanti. So, he ruses, with his sly minister Badarayana Praggada, and embraces Pratap. Afterward, to discard they send him to Naga, Varuna, and Agni Lokas on the pretext of fetching medicine when Pratap successfully backs wed-locking the angels. After a while, Pratap ceases Threesoka & Badarayana and delegates the kingdom to Rendu Chintalu. Meanwhile, Jagjit captivates his parents and conquers the crown, but they abscond and reach their son. Currently, Pratap moves to regain their kingdom when he free's the saree and asks his mother to shield it. Noticing, the angels acquire it by hoodwinking and quitting. Being cognizant of it, grief-stricken Pratap crosses many hurdles and lands in heaven where Indra tests his efficiency and capability. Finally, Pratap succeeds in getting back his wives to Earth and rules his kingdom happily.

K. V. Reddy's next project after Pellilnati Pramanalu (1958) was the Vijaya Productions' fantasy film Jagadeka Veeruni Katha. The film was adapted from a popular Tamil folktale on which a previous film, Pakshiraja Films’ Jagathalapratapan (1944) was also based.[2] Screenwriter Pingali and K. V. Reddy took the core plot from Jagathala Prathapan, but added new characters, made other changes to the story and prepared the script of Jagadeka Veeruni Katha which made it quite distinct from the 1944 film.[2]

Music composed by Pendyala Nageswara Rao. Lyrics were written by Pingali Nagendra Rao.[3]
