Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy's teaser dropped on the internet and it is all about grand sets and star-studded cast ensemble. The magnum opus is based on the life of freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. The excitement around the same was way too high with stars like Chiranjeevi, Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi, Jagapathi Babu, Nayanthara, Tamannaah and Anushka Shetty playing key roles. However, another reason for the fans to get excited about it is Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan's intriguing role in the film. But did you know that Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is NOT Sr Bachchan's Telugu debut movie? Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy: All You Need to Know About this Forgotten Freedom Fighter.

The versatile actor is a powerhouse of talent and has tried working in various languages before. However, it is for the first time that his outing down south is getting celebrated in such a grand manner. This is the reason why many of them mistook the film as his debut Telugu film.

It is a 2014 film, Manam, where he first made an appearance in the Tollywood industry as an actor. Directed by Vikram Kumar, the film had Akkineni Nagarjuna, Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Naga Chaitanya, Shriya Saran and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead roles. In the same film, Big B had a short cameo as a character named 'Pratap.'

Although not effective as the upcoming one but calling this one as his debut Tollywood film would be unfair. As far as his role in the grand film is concerned, he is seen in an avatar of a sage with shoulder-length hair and a large tikka on his forehead. It is refreshing to watch the 'Shahenshah' of Bollywood being a part of such an amazing project and we certainly look forward to it.
