About Rao Bahadur
In 1970s India, an eccentric aristocrat—labeled a 'man of miracles'—miraculously survives a terminal illness. Plagued by guilt and fear, he retreats into his palatial mansion, creating an alternate world that deeply blurs reality and imagination.
Directed by Venkatesh Maha, Rao Bahadur leans on a strong ensemble — Satyadev Kancharana, Vikas Muppala, Deepa Thomas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 2026.
