趣闻

Rao Bahadur is a 2026 Indian Telugu-language psychological dark comedy film written, directed and edited by Venkatesh Maha. The film stars Satyadev in the titular role alongside Vikas Muppala and Deepa Thomas. It was presented by Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar, under GMB Entertainment, and produced by Anurag Reddy, Sharath Chandra, and Chinta Gopalakrishna Reddy, and Eshwaran Vijayaraghavan, under A+S Movies, Srichakraas Entertainments, Mahayana Motion Pictures, and Better Invest Media Vision Fund, respectively. It is set against the backdrop of a fading aristocracy that blends elements of suspense, dark comedy, and magical realism.

Production

Venkatesh Maha spent five years developing the script, aiming to create a "Telugu story made for the world". Initially, he began writing the script with the title Marmaanuvu in 2020 and initially intended to make it with actor Rajasekhar as a psychological drama with horror elements. After some changes in the production and casting, he ultimately re-developed the story, cast Satyadev in the lead role, and rechristened the film as Rao Bahadur.

Satyadev had a rigorous regimen during the 85-day shooting schedule. To portray the aging aristocrat, the actor required five hours of daily prosthetic makeup. Principal photography involved the use of atmospheric lighting and unique colour palettes managed by cinematographer Kartik Parmar and production designer Rohan Singh.
