Alluri Seetarama Raju is a 1974 Indian Telugu-language biographical action film directed by V. Ramachandra Rao and written by Tripuraneni Maharadhi.

However, Rama Raju, determined to fight for national freedom, informs Sita that he will return as a celibate and dedicate himself to the cause of India's liberation.

Moved by the exploitation and plundering of natural resources in the forest regions, Sitarama Raju incites rebellion among the local people.

British Collector Rutherford escalates his attacks on villages in the forest region, torturing the people and ultimately lures Sitarama Raju out of hiding.
