Overview
- Mahesh Babu publicly praised Rao Bahadur on Thursday, calling it “a film that gets under your skin” and saying he is proud of the team behind the project.
- The makers position Rao Bahadur as a psychological period drama that explores illusion, legacy and emotional tension and is scheduled to open in theatres worldwide on July 3.
- Promotions have followed a staged rollout: the first single 'O Sundari' was released, then a teaser, and most recently a Behind‑The‑Scenes video that highlights Satya Dev’s extensive prosthetic makeup and costume work.
- Venkatesh Maha wrote, directed and edited the film, with Kartik Parmar on cinematography, Smaran Sai composing the music and Rohan Singh handling production design, and it is presented by Mahesh Babu’s GMB Entertainment with A plus S Movies and SriChakraas.
- The presenter’s endorsement raises the film’s visibility in Telugu cinema and could influence audience interest at the box office after the release was moved from an earlier June date to July 3.
