Simhadri is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language action drama film co-written and directed by S. S. Rajamouli from a story written by V. Vijayendra Prasad. The film was produced by V. Vijay Kumar Varma under VMC Productions and stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr. as the title character alongside Bhumika Chawla, Ankitha, Mukesh Rishi, Nassar, and Rahul Dev playing supporting roles. The film follows Simhadri, an orphan raised as a son by a noble landlord. He secretly protects Indu, landlord's estranged and amnesiac granddaughter, until a series of events reveals his true identity as "Singamalai," a vigilante revered in Kerala. Principal photography initially commenced under a different director and was shot for nearly 40 days. However, the producers felt the footage did not align with Rama Rao Jr.'s image following his previous blockbuster, Aadi. Dissatisfied, the makers decided to change the director. Rama Rao Jr. subsequently suggested S. S. Rajamouli, with whom he had previously collaborated on Student no.1, to take over the project, an opportunity that gave a career defining breakthrough for Rajamouli. The film has music composed by M. M. Keeravani while the cinematography and editing are done by Ravindra Babu and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao respectively. Released on 9 July 2003, Simhadri received critical acclaim and was widely praised for its story, cast performances, direction, and its high-octane emotional sequences. Along with the success of Aadi, the film cemented Rama Rao Jr.'s status as a major star in Telugu cinema. It went to become a major commercial success, celebrating a 50-day run in 190 centres and a 100-day run in 150 centres, an all-time record in Telugu cinema at the time. It emerged as the highest-grossing Telugu film in history at the time. Produced on a budget of ₹8 crore (US$830,000), it collected a distributor's share over ₹26 crore (US$2.7 million) at the box-office. The film was remade in two other languages: as Gajendra (2004) in Tamil, and as Kanteerava (2012) in Kannada.
