Mega Star Chiranjeevi‘s ambitious project Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is all set to hit the screens on October 2, 2019. The movie is a biopic on freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy and is set around 10 years before the uprising of 1857. Uyyalawada is believed to have fought the first war of independence against the British.
