Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga has praised Rao Bahadur, the Telugu psychological thriller directed by Venkatesh Maha and starring Satya Dev, currently playing in cinemas worldwide. His comments follow similar praise for the film from directors Sukumar and Ram Gopal Varma.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga praises Rao Bahadur, calls Venkatesh Maha’s film a rare cinematic experience: “It reminds you why we fell in love with cinema”

Vanga said in a social media post, “Just watched Rao Bahadur. This is one of those rare, rich films that reminds you why we fell in love with cinema in the first place. I have one request to every genuine film lover, give this film three hours of your life. It deserves your attention, your patience, and your applause. Venkatesh Maha has crafted it so precisely within the financial metrics and it requires guts and absolute conviction. Satya Dev is sensational. No noise. No shortcuts. Just pure filmmaking. Congratulations to the entire team. Films like these deserve to be celebrated.”

The makers of the film responded to Vanga’s remarks with a note of thanks, acknowledging the significance of his endorsement to the entire team.

Rao Bahadur blends psychological drama with the fading echoes of an aristocratic past. Venkatesh Maha, who handles writing, direction, and editing on the project, has been credited for a narrative rooted in local sensibilities while carrying broader emotional resonance.

Presented by Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar’s GMB Entertainment, Rao Bahadur is produced by A+S Movies and SriChakraas Entertainments. The technical team includes Kartik Parmar as cinematographer, Smaran Sai as composer, and Rohan Singh as production designer. Rao Bahadur released in cinemas worldwide on July 3.
