Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem

Rajamouli explained,

“RRR displays Ram Charan and Jr NTR recreating the fairly young versions of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem — the groundbreaking freedom warriors from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana,” Rajmouli says at the film’s 1st media briefing in Hyderabad, with Jr NTR, Ram Charan, and producer DVV Danayya. They remain far from home (in Delhi) before fighting for the country.”

RRR is a fictitious story of one of India’s greatest freedom warriors, Alluri Sitarama Raju (played by Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (played by N. T. Rama Rao Jr.) and their struggle against the British Raj

Rajamouli came across stories of Rama Raju and Bheem’s lives and connected the dots, imagining what might have happened if the two had met and become friends. The novel takes place in 1920 and covers an undocumented period in their lives when both revolutionaries opted to vanish before beginning the fight for their country.

So, let’s have a sneak peek into the life of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem:

Alluri Sitarama Raju

Alluri Sitarama Raju, an Indian freedom fighter who became a monk at the age of 18, led the Rampa Rebellion in 1922 in response to the British Raj’s 1882 Madras Forest Act, which severely limited tribal communities’ freedom of movement within their own forests.

The community was unwilling to fully implement the traditional Podu agricultural technique of shifting cropping as a result of the Act’s consequences.

The authorities apprehended Raju, chained him to a tree, and executed him in a public execution in 1924, putting an end to the armed insurrection. He was given the appellation “Manyam Veerudu,” or “forest hero,” for his bravery.

Komaram Bheem

Another Indian freedom fighter, Komaram Bheem, had escaped from prison and was hiding on a tea plantation in Assam. He learned of Alluri’s uprising while he was there and felt compelled to defend the Gond tribe to whom he belonged. His actual year of birth is unknown, but he is considered to have been born about 1900.

Komaram Bheem

In the early 1900s, he spearheaded an uprising against the last Nizam of Hyderabad and the oppression of local landlords. Nizam is accused of assassinating indigenous people who were defenceless. In addition, high agricultural revenue taxes were enforced, making it harder for the poor to exist.

Bheem’s historical word Jal Jangal Zameen has been used extensively in Adivasi conflicts to this day.

S. S. Rajamouli, tied these two historical threads together in his film RRR, set a century later

According to the director, there was no record of these activists’ actions because neither of them resided in their own villages on many occasions. They had both been absent from their homes for a few years, and when they returned, they organised an insurgency to free their people, for which they were slain.
