Curiosità

Chanakya Chandragupta is a 1977 Indian Telugu-language historical drama film directed and produced by N. T. Rama Rao under the banner of Ramakrishna Cine Studios. The film stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Rama Rao, Sivaji Ganesan, Jayaprada, Manjula and Kaikala Satyanarayana, with music composed by Pendyala Nageswara Rao.

Production

N. T. Rama Rao commissioned a bound script for Chanakya Chandragupta from Pingali, and for Daana Veera Soora Karna from Kondaveeti Venkatakavi. Initially, Rama Rao approached Akkineni Nageswara Rao to portray Lord Krishna in Daana Veera Soora Karna. However, Nageswara Rao declined the offer, prompting Rama Rao to assume the role himself. Nageswara Rao then expressed interest in playing Chanakya in Chanakya Chandragupta.

Filming for Chanakya Chandragupta commenced in 1976 but was halted due to the death of Rama Rao's father. Subsequently, Rama Rao opted to begin production on Daana Veera Soora Karna, a project he had long planned, which ultimately became a major success. Notably, the back cover of the song book for Daana Veera Soora Karna featured a still of both Rama Rao and Nageswara Rao, announcing their next collaboration, Chanakya Chandragupta.

In the film's credits, Akkineni Nageswara Rao is listed first, followed by Sivaji Ganesan, who plays Alexander. The title Chanakya Chandragupta appears next, along with credits for story, screenplay, and direction attributed to Rama Rao. Although Rama Rao is credited as the producer at the end of the film, his name does not appear in the actor's credits.
