Satya Dev-starrer Rao Bahadur's makers release BTS video titled 'Into the world of Rao Bahadur'
Hyderabad, May 23
The makers of director Venkatesh Maha's upcoming psychological drama 'Rao Bahadur', featuring actor Satya Dev in the lead, have now released a Behind The Scenes video of the film called 'Into The World Of Rao Bahadur', much to the delight of fans and film buffs.
The BTS video -- Into the world of Rao Bahadur -- offers a fascinating window into the massive scale of the production. The video chronicles the rigorous pre-production, intricate prosthetics work, and grand-scale filming schedules that define the ambitious project.
The major attraction of the footage is the astonishing physical transformation of Satya Dev. It captures the actor arriving on set and stepping straight into his vanity van to undergo a meticulous makeup and styling process.
Complete with custom contact lenses and an elite wardrobe featuring an ornate purple sherwani, heavy pearl necklaces, and a traditional turban, Satya Dev fully embodies the majestic aura of a bygone era. The video shows different looks of the actor in the movie.
Beyond the actor's transformation, the glimpse sheds light on the massive production values and technical craftsmanship being poured into the film. Viewers are taken onto lavish, antique-themed indoor sets, and extensive outdoor locations. It also teases intense stunt preparation, underscoring the dynamic narrative flow planned by the director.
For the unaware, the film is slated to hit screens worldwide on July 3. The film was originally supposed to release on June 5 this year.
Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar are presenting the film under GMB Entertainment. The film has been produced jointly by A+S Movies and SriChakraas Entertainments.
Venkatesh Maha, who is the director of the film, has also taken charge of writing and editing the film.
The anticipation around the film continues to grow, especially after the film's impressive first glimpse and the widely appreciated O Sundari single, which transported audiences into a beautifully recreated vintage era.
Deepa Thomas plays the leading lady in this film, while Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran play pivotal roles.
The movie has a solid technical team working on it- Kartik Parmar is handling its cinematography while Smaran Sai has been assigned the task of providing its music. Rohan Singh is taking care of the film's production design.
Sources close to the unit of the film say that 'Rao Bahadur' will not just deliver grandeur, but a narrative that dives deep into legacy, hidden truths, and the haunting echoes of a bygone aristocratic world.

As someone who's been following Venkatesh Maha's work since his short films, this BTS video is a masterclass in filmmaking dedication. The prosthetic work alone must have taken months of planning. I hope the story matches the visual grandeur—too many period films these days are all style, no substance.
O Sundari was such a banger! 😍 Really excited to see Satya Dev in that purple sherwani—he's got the screen presence for a royal role. Hope the film doesn't just rely on sets and costumes, the plot about 'hidden truths' sounds intriguing. Let's go Telugu cinema! 🇮🇳
Mahesh Babu presenting this film is a big deal. His production house has backed some solid projects lately. But I'm a bit skeptical—psychological dramas in Telugu often get too preachy or drag in the second half. Venkatesh Maha has a good track record though. Fingers crossed! 🤞
The scale of this production is mind-blowing for a non-pan-India film. The BTS shows they've put serious thought into every detail—from the antiques to the outdoor locations. I just hope the editing is crisp. Venkatesh Maha handling writing and editing himself is either a sign of genius control or potential overreach. Let's wait and watch.
Honestly, I'm tired of these 'vintage era' films with expensive costumes but weak scripts. But Satya Dev has always chosen good projects, so I'll give this a chance. The BTS is impressive
