Plot

Kalyan Sinha (Nandamuri Kalyan Ram) is a corrupt IPS officer who gets himself transferred to Hyderabad as ACP and misuses his power to gain monetary benefits in unorthodox methods. During this process, he also encourages a local MP named GK (Ashutosh Rana) who has become a huge headache to Murali Krishna (Saikumar Pudipeddi), the DGP of Telangana . Kalyan happens to be Murali's son who is angry on the latter as his supposed negligence killed his mother and just born sister, though Murali actually left his wife in the hospital to save several families in a riot. Unaware of this, Kalyan left Murali and joined an orphanage and became an IPS officer to seek revenge on his father. During his life at Hyderabad, Kalyan also meets two women; Mahathi, (Shruti Sodhi) journalist working for TV5 and Kavya (Prachi Thaker), a deaf-mute philanthropist who works in a coffee shop. He loves Mahathi and expects her to reciprocate the same only to be rejected by her because of his corrupt nature. Kavya is killed by GK's brother Nani when she tries to save a techie from being assaulted sexually by him near HITEC City.

Kalyan considered Kavya as his sister and her death enrages him and he turns against GK. GK wants to make Nani a politician while Kalyan challenges GK to save Nani from getting arrested. GK manages to kidnap the techie but with the help of a transgender (Madhunandan), who also is the primary witness, Kalyan arrests Nani with a non bailable warrant. He also challenges GK to bring Nani out of jail within 3 days. Murali and Kalyan are united and Kalyan's marriage with Mahathi is approved. On the third day, GK's men kidnap the transgender and Mahathi. Murali along with his team go to the spot to save the witness. Kalyan manages to save Mahathi but is very far from the spot. Meanwhile, Murali and his team along with the transgender are killed by GK and his partners. Nani and his friends are released from the jail and Kalyan plans to kill all of them with the help of an old NRI turned actor "Tsunami star" Subhash (M. S. Narayana).

First, Kalyan and his team assault one of GK's partners and his son and throw them on a railway track. They die with a non stop super fast train passing over them. The other partner and his son are intoxicated and their car is made to collide a static truck. Subhash enters the spot in disguise as a taxi driver and presents himself as a witness to that accident citing over drunk being the reason behind those two deaths. GK's two key henchmen are killed by transgender people and police, with the help of Subhash, make media believe that they were killed in a stampede caused by fans of actress Tamannaah when they came to know that she is inaugurating a mall. Subhash faces the media in disguise as a fan of Tamannaah and reconfirms the same.

GK plans to escape to Delhi along with Nani to gain his position as an MP again with high security but is trapped by Ramesh, the head of police security who failed to arrest GK in the past in an illegal land acquisition dispute. They reach the same spot where Murali was killed and after being severely assaulted by Kalyan, the duo are made to sit in a car on which petrol is poured. The police shoot the car and the duo die in a blast. Subhash enters the spot as himself who says to the media that he visited this place as a part of location scouting and the duo died in a blast as they were smoking in a "no smoking" area which caused the blast.

Cast

Production

Development

Anil Ravipudi worked with Santosh Srinivas in the latter's directorial debut Kandireega (2011) as a writer and wrote this film's script.[7] He later approached Nandamuri Kalyan Ram through a friend.[8] Kalyan Ram liked the script and wanted to produce the film with other actor. However Ravipudi wanted Kalyan Ram to play the lead role which he accepted.[7] Kalyan Ram was busy with the production of Om 3D (2013) and Ravipudi was constantly in touch with him.[8] After completing with the writing, he again approached Kalyan Ram and both began working on the film.[9]

Reports of Ravipudi making his directorial debut by collaborating with Kalyan Ram emerged in late March 2014 and Pre-production work was in progress.[10] The film was launched on 9 May 2014 at Ramanaidu Studios and was titled as Pataas.[11] The filming of Temper (2015) was halted as its basic plot resembled this film's storyline.[12] Ravipudi said in an interview that the film runs in the pattern of Singam (2010) with Telugu nativity and is about a corrupt cop who changes for the good, adding that it would be an image makeover for Kalyan Ram.[9]

Casting

Nandamuri Kalyan Ram was seen as a police officer in the film.[13] Shruti Sodhi was cast as the female lead in late May 2014 marking her debut in Telugu cinema.[14] She was approached by Ravipudi after watching her pictures and was seen as a journalist in the film which was her job before entering films.[15] She described her character as a "morally, ethically correct and a strong worded girl", adding that the film is a hero-centric film.[16] N. T. Rama Rao Jr. was rumored to make a cameo appearance in the remix of the song Arey O Samba which remained unconfirmed.[17]

Sai Kumar was cast to play the role of Director General of Police and Srinivasa Reddy was cast for a supporting role.[18] A spoof was performed by the latter on the former's famous dialogue from the film Police Story (1996).[7] Television anchor Jhansi made a comeback with this film after a brief hiatus.[19] Comedian M. S. Narayana was cast for a supporting role who died on the day of the film's release.[20]

Filming

Principal photography began on 10 May 2014 at Hyderabad.[21] By late October 2014, 90% of the filming was complete and an action sequence featuring Kalyan Ram and others were shot at Ramoji Film City.[22] Shruti Sodhi almost completed filming for her part by late October 2014.[23] The Remixed version of the song Arey O Samba was shot on Kalyan Ram and Shruti Sodhi at Hyderabad in early November 2014.[24] After completing the shoot of a couple of songs, the filming came to an end on 22 November 2014.[25] The same was confirmed by Kalyan Ram before the commencemt of post-production phase.[26]

Ravipudi revealed in an interview that the film was shot in 70 working days and added that he directed the film without a scene paper on hand and knew every dialogue of each character and scene in hand.[9] Despite being a trained dancer, Shruti Sodhi found the Telugu style of dancing difficult and said "The choreographers’ movements are so fluid, the rhythm is amazing, they were a bit tough as it was the folk style. Also Telugu is not my language; so putting on right expressions for the language was tough" in an interview.[16]

Music

Sai Karthik composed the film's music and background score. The soundtrack consists of five songs, four originally composed by Karthk and written by Sri Mani, B. Subbaraya Sarma and Tadaila Bapu apart from the remixed version of the song Arey O Samba composed by Bappi Lahari and written by Bhuvanachandra for the film Rowdy Inspector (1992).[27] Karthik initially wanted to retain the background music of the original in the remixed version but later modified them to a small extent.[28] Shreyas Music acquired the audio rights in early December 2014.[29] The official track list was unveiled on 4 February 2014.[27]

The soundtrack was supposed to be launched on 7 December 2014.[30] But it was postponed due to the death of Kalyan Ram's brother Nandamuri Janakiram in an accident.[31] The release date was announced as 1 January 2015 in late December 2014.[32] Actors N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ravi Teja along with directors Puri Jagannadh and Surender Reddy among others attended the audio launch event held at Hyderabad along with the film's cast and crew.[33] Rama Rao Jr. unveiled the soundtrack discs and Ravi Teja received the first copy.[34]
