Interesting facts

Gang Leader is a 1991 Indian Telugu-language action crime film written and directed by Vijaya Bapineedu, and produced by Maganti Ravindranath Chowdary. The film stars Chiranjeevi and Vijayashanti, while Rao Gopal Rao, Anandaraj, Murali Mohan, and Sarath Kumar play supporting roles. The soundtrack was composed by Bappi Lahiri with dance choreography by Prabhu Deva. The film explores the exploitation of law enforcement by anti-social behaviour and the impact of mob psychology.

Production

After previous collaborations such as Maga Maharaju, Hero and Magadheerudu, Bapineedu decided to make a different kind of film with Chiranjeevi and narrated a plot to which he rejected. Bapineedu later narrated this story to Paruchuri Gopalakrishna (of Paruchuri Brothers) who found some flaws and made some changes in the script. Chiranjeevi agreed to the story as he had faith in Paruchuri Brothers.

The Paruchuri brothers wrote the storyline of the film which was initially titled Are O Samba. Are O Samba is one of the famous dialogues from the film Sholay as well. But the title was changed to Gang Leader at the insistence of director Vijaya Bapineedu. The director came up with this title after he saw the same being used by writer G Satya Murthy for a serial.
