Raja the Great

Raja the Great is a 2017 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film written and directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Dil Raju on Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.

[2] The film stars Ravi Teja as a visually impaired man, alongside Mehreen Pirzada and Radhika.

Lucky runs away to Darjeeling and hides in her father's friend Prasad's house to evade an attempt on her life.

Meanwhile, Raja is a blind man who is trained by his head constable mother, Anantha Lakshmi, to use his disability to his advantage.

After several incidents, he agrees to send him, but only to cook food for other officers—Raja, with his friend Bujji and three other officers, heads to Darjeeling.

Anil Ravipudi had the idea to make a film with visually impaired character as a lead as he was fascinated by the talents they have.

[6] Ravipudi approached Ram Pothineni and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. for the film but Ravi Teja was finalized.

Raja The Great (Title Song) was released online, for which Ravi Teja gave his voice.

Karthik Keramulu writing for the Firstpost rated 2.5 of 5 and wrote: "Raja The Great is an okayish entertaining affair in the theatre.

"[12] The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi stated: "Anil Ravipudi takes the mass route with a blind protagonist and the result is silly humour.

"[13] The Indian Express critic Manoj Kumar R who rated 2 stars, opined: "You don't go to watch a Ravi Teja film, which is directed by Anil Ravipudi, expecting a Nayakan.
