In a rare and deeply respectful gesture, acclaimed writer JK Bharavi traveled to the village where Dokka Seethamma once lived to write the script for the upcoming biographical film Andhrula Annapurna Dokka Seethamma. He chose to stay in Lankagannavaram village near Rajahmundry, where the legendary humanitarian spent her life serving the poor. This decision shows the team’s extraordinary commitment to emotional depth and historical truth.
Bharavi, known for powerful films like Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu, and Shirdi Sai, took this journey to deepen his understanding of Seethamma’s life. By visiting her home, walking her village streets, and experiencing her surroundings, he aims to craft a script that captures the essence of her spirit, not just the events of her life.
Writer Lives in Seethamma’s Village to Capture True Spirit
JK Bharavi chose to live in the village not just to research, but to fully immerse himself in Seethamma’s world. During his stay, he is writing the story, screenplay, and dialogues. This grounded approach helps him resolve historical gaps and create scenes that reflect Seethamma’s values, challenges, and compassion. His dedication highlights how seriously the team treats the responsibility of sharing her story with truth and reverence.
Grand Sets, Fast-Paced Shoot, and Passionate Direction
Director T.V. Ravi Narayan leads the project with focused energy and creative vision. The team is filming at a massive set built at Sarathi Studios in Hyderabad, which beautifully recreates 19th-century Andhra Pradesh. The shoot is moving at a fast pace, with Aamani playing Dokka Seethamma and Murali Mohan taking on the role of her husband, Dokka Joganna. The director actively works with his team to ensure every shot reflects emotional and historical accuracy.
Powerful Casting and Spiritual Visuals
Murali Mohan brings a powerful presence to the role of Joganna, a respected Vedic scholar and strong supporter of Seethamma’s mission. The team released his first-look poster on Sri Rama Navami, and audiences appreciated it widely. With symbols like vibhuti, kumkum, and rudraksha beads, he perfectly portrays a calm, wise village elder deeply rooted in tradition.
A Film Rooted in Truth and Soul
Andhrula Annapurna Dokka Seethamma goes beyond being a film, it stands as a true cinematic tribute to a woman who fed thousands with love and dignity. With JK Bharavi’s dedicated writing, T.V. Ravi Narayan‘s passionate direction, a seasoned cast, and touching lyrics by Chandrabose, the film promises to offer a rich and soulful experience. More than anything, Bharavi’s visit to Seethamma’s village proves that this film doesn’t just aim to narrate a story, it strives to bring her legacy alive with truth, heart, and reverence.
