State Rowdy

State Rowdy is a 1989 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by B. Gopal and produced by T. Subbarami Reddy and P. Sasi Bhushan.

[1] Released on March 23, 1989, State Rowdy became a commercial success, particularly in the Nizam region, where it grossed ₹1 crore, setting a box office record at the time.

However, due to Kodandarami Reddy's commitments to other projects with the actor, B. Gopal was brought in to direct, marking his first collaboration with Chiranjeevi.

[4] State Rowdy was released on March 23, 1989, following the blockbuster success of Chiranjeevi’s Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu earlier that year.

The strong box office performance of Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu heightened expectations for State Rowdy.

Distributors in the Nizam region showed significant interest in acquiring the film's rights, with some reportedly offering blank cheques.

The success of State Rowdy further solidified Chiranjeevi’s status as one of Telugu cinema's leading box office stars.
