Gang Leader

Gang Leader is a 1991 Indian Telugu-language action crime film written and directed by Vijaya Bapineedu, and produced by Maganti Ravindranath Chowdary.

The film explores the concepts of exploitation of law enforcement by anti-social behaviour and the impact of mob psychology.

The film was later remade in Hindi as Aaj Ka Goonda Raaj (1992) where Chiranjeevi reprises his role and in Kannada as Kutumba (2003).

Raghupathi is the only breadwinner of the family, Raghava is preparing for the Civil Services Examination, and Rajaram is an unemployed freelance dancer who spends time with his four friends in search of jobs.

One day, Rajaram makes Kanyakumari vacate the house on a payment basis as she is not paying the rent to the landlord.

Raghava becomes an IAS officer and marries Latha, which was a scheme planned by Ekambaram and Kanakambaram so that they can escape cases with his support.

Rajaram and Kanyakumari arrives, where they kill Ekambaram and Kanakambaram, and the broken family finally leads a happy life.

After previous collaborations such as Maga Maharaju, Hero and Magadheerudu, Bapineedu decided to make a different kind of film with Chiranjeevi and narrated a plot to which he rejected.

Allu Aravind who was initially sceptical of the film's plot point of Chiranjeevi's friends dying at the same time and expressed his concerns to Gopalakrishna to which he agreed and rewrote that aspect.

Chiranjeevi and some crew members flew in a helicopter to attend all the celebrations, marking the first time such an event had been organized.
