Satya Dev’s Rao Bahadur is backed by Superstar Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar under GMB Entertainment in collaboration with A+S Movies and Sri Chakraas Entertainments. The film is directed by Venkatesh Maha. The team has been hyping the film on another level. A few days ago, Satya Dev stated that Rao Bahadur would set a gold standard in Telugu cinema, much like Baahubali and RRR.
Now, at a recent event, director Venkatesh Maha made a bold statement, saying that Satya Dev’s performance in Rao Bahadur reminded him of Kamal Haasan. He stated, “Once, Kamal Haasan garu said that he would retire the day he came across an actor of his calibre in this generation. That day has come now, but Kamal garu, please don’t retire. Satya Dev is just as exceptional as Kamal Haasan garu.”
That is definitely a big statement from Venkatesh Maha, and it has now sparked discussions online. Deepa Thomas plays the female lead in Rao Bahadur, while Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran will be seen in key roles.
