Okkadu was the first biggest blockbuster in Prince Mahesh Babu's career. The film, which released in 2003, had faction backdrop in it apart from family and romantic elements. Prakash Raj was seen as a factionist in the film. An action sequence that was shot at Kondareddy Buruju of Kurnool is ever remembered.
Apparently, Mahesh Babu's upcoming film Sarileru Neekevvaru has a similarity and a difference with Okkadu. Like Okkadu, Sarileru Neekevvaru has faction backdrop and a crucial action sequence is likely to be shot at Kondareddy Buruju set.
On the contrary, Mahesh wasn't shown as a factionist in Okkadu. He was just seen a lover boy who fights for his love interest. However, in Sarileru Neekevvaru, Mahesh Babu is likely to appear as the son of a factionist. it must be remembered that 'Reddy Gari Abbayi' title had gone viral on net before the title Sarileru Neekevvaru confirmed.
Sarileru Neekevvaru is being directed by Anil Ravipudi under Sri Venkateswara Creations. Rashmika Mandanna is the heroine.
