Although ‘Rudramadevi’ has received divided talk, there is unanimous talk about Allu Arjun as Gona Ganna Reddy. Many say that he dominated even Rudramadevi with his brilliant performance and on-screen charisma. Director Gunasekhar has designed his role better than lead Rudramadevi.
However, historians are now criticizing Gunasekhar for ignoring the truths in the name of cinematic liberties. As per history, Rudramadevi ruled Kakatiya dynasty for almost 30 years without much support from either her husband Chalukya Veerabadrudu or warrior Gona Ganna Reddy.
However, Gunasekhar showed Gona Ganna Reddy as a savior who always helped Rudramadevi whenever she faced hurdles. As per historians, whatever Gunasekhar has shown on screen about Gona Ganna Reddy, is complete false and it was only to add hero power to his Film.
Contrary to Rudramadevi, Gona Ganna Reddy character has emerged as the major crowd puller and Audiences believe that the film could have been blockbuster had Gona Ganna Reddy was made the lead actor instead of Rudramadevi.
