Ranabaali documentary’s second episode streams on YouTube
The Story in Brief
The second episode of the ‘Never Forget The Truth’ documentary series for the upcoming Telugu film ‘Ranabaali’, titled ‘The History We Forgot’, is now streaming on YouTube, multiple outlets report. The episode explores historical truths about British rule and the exploitation of India's agricultural wealth.
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna discuss how the British built the railway network not for infrastructure development but to transport Indian grains, spices, cotton and gold to ports, a fact they say was omitted from history textbooks. Rashmika Mandanna says learning the deeper truth affected her like a storm. Deverakonda says the British wrote the history books and left out crucial details.
The documentary is directed by Rahul Sankrityan and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under Mythri Movie Makers, presented by T-Series. ‘Ranabaali’ is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 16 October. The third episode, ‘The Men We Forgot’, will stream on 2 October. Unconfirmed buzz on social media suggests the theatrical trailer may be released on 8 October, though official confirmation is awaited, 123telugu.com reports.
