Interesting facts

Vijetha (transl. Winner) is a 1985 Indian Telugu-language film directed by A. Kodandarami Reddy and produced by Allu Aravind starring Chiranjeevi, Bhanupriya, and J. V. Somayajulu. The film released on 23 October 1985. The film was a remake of the 1981 Bengali film Saheb starring Tapas Paul and Utpal Dutt which was earlier remade in Hindi as Saaheb (1985) with Anil Kapoor. The film was dubbed in Tamil as Dharma Prabhu.

Production

Most of the outdoor scenes were shot in Mumbai, where Saheeb was shot. Mukesh Udeshi helped the team a lot in the Mumbai shooting. Rohini dubbed Bhanupriya's voice in the film. Sreelakshmi, who played the wife of Giribabu, also had her voice dubbed by someone else for the film. K. Dattu, who worked for camera in this film as an assistant, worked for films like Shankar Dada MBBS later. Both Allu brothers, Bunny and Bobby, acted in the film.

Many discussions went into zeroing in on a title for the movie. Chinnababu was considered earlier, as both Bengali and Hindi versions had the male lead character's name as the title. There was also an advertisement in the popular film magazine Jyothichitra asking for title suggestions, and Vijetha won the majority votes. A lucky draw of those voter names was held and the winners' names were credited in the film, too.
