A long disclaimer precedes the film, through which the makers emphasise that while the story is inspired by the life of Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, they do not claim historical accuracy for all the events shown in the narrative. They have used information available in the public domain and folklore, with cinematic dramatisation. This disclaimer is a smart move with which they take the leeway to narrate the story of Narasimha Reddy whose valour preceded the Sepoy Mutiny and make it larger than life, to be headlined by one of the biggest superstars of Telugu cinema, and take a populist approach to cater to his large fan base, and beyond.

The story is narrated by Laxmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (Anushka Shetty pulling off a regal cameo, the way only she can), whose army is outnumbered by the British. She narrates Narasimha’s story, urging her soldiers to draw inspiration from the man who fought till the end.
