Revival of historical entertainers in Telugu cinema happened with Gunasekhar's 'Rudhramadevi'. The movie's full run shares touched Rs.50 crores mark in all languages and this has inspired a few other filmmakers to come up with subjects based on historical genres.
Krish is one such ambitious director who is currently making 'Gauthamiputra Satakarni' lavishly with Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna. When 'Rudhramadevi' hit the screens Gunaskhar stated that he would make yet another historical film 'Prathaparudhrudu- The Last Empire' soon.
Gunasekhar is going to archives to study the biography of 'Prathaparudhrudu'. Also, the director is meeting historians to learn the biography of 'Prathaparudhrudu'. He is likely to direct this project with one of the top league heroes of current generation with a huge budget. If at all everything gets materialized as planned, it would be far bigger project than 'Satakarni'.
