Veteran
actress
Jayaprada
has
kept
her
words
to
director
Naganna,
whom
she
promised
earlier
to
play
the
role
of
'Kitturu
Rani
Chanamma".
Now
after
so
many
years,
the
actress
has
given
her
fresh
dates
to
the
director
as
she
has
agreed
to
play
the
role.
The
film
concerned
here
is
a
historical
Kannada
movie
titled
Kranthiveera
Sangolli
Rayanna,
which
has
the
challenging
star
Darshan
in
the
male
lead
role.
The
actress,
who
has
already
achieved
a
'Lifetime
Achievement
Award" in
south
for
her
career
of
more
than
30
years,
will
be
playing
the
role
that
was
immortalized
by
Dr
B
Sarojadevi
earlier.
The
audience
still
remembers
Dr
Sarojadevi
for
playing
that
role
so
it
would
be
a
great
challenge
for
Jayaprada
to
live
up
to
the
expectations
of
the
Kannada
film
viewers.
Kitturu
Rani
Chennamma
was
the
brave
queen
of
Kittur
in
Karnataka.
The
queen
led
an
armed
revolt
against
the
British
rule,
which
happened
in
1824.
She
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
earliest
rulers
of
India,
who
struggled
for
independence.
The
queen
is
still
remembered
as
an
icon
of
bravery
and
women's
pride
along
with
Keladi
Chennamma,
Abbakka
Rani
and
Onake
Obavva.
