Ranabaali: ‘The History We Forgot’ Digs Deeper Into the British Era

The makers of Ranabaali are continuing their unique promotional journey with Never Forget The Truth, a four-episode documentary series that offers audiences a deeper understanding of the film’s historical backdrop and creative vision.

The first episode, The Famine We Forgot, introduced viewers to a forgotten chapter of history and offered a glimpse into the extensive research and world-building behind the film. The second episode, The History We Forgot, is now streaming on YouTube, taking the conversation further.

The latest episode explores historical truths surrounding the British era and the exploitation of India’s agricultural wealth.

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna discuss how certain aspects of history remained largely unknown and shed light on the circumstances that shaped the period.

The episode also examines the role of the railway network during British rule and how it was used to transport India’s agricultural produce and resources to ports and eventually overseas.

Rashmika Mandanna shares how her research for Ranabaali helped her understand the period, its people and the circumstances of the time on a deeper level.

Vijay Deverakonda, meanwhile, discusses the commonly told narrative surrounding the British-built railway system and explains the economic interests behind its construction, according to the documentary. Their perspectives add an emotional and informative layer to the promotional campaign.

Starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead roles, Ranabaali is directed by Rahul Sankrityan.

Presented by T-Series and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner, the film is mounted on a lavish scale.

The third episode, The Men We Forgot, will stream on October 2, while the release date of The Last Load will be announced soon.

Ranabaali is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on October 16, on the occasion of Vijayadashami.
