Kondaveeti Raja

Kondaveeti Raja is a 1986 Telugu action drama directed by K. Raghavendra Rao and produced by K. Devi Varaprasad. It stars Chiranjeevi, Vijayashanti, Radha, Rao Gopal Rao, and Kaikala Satyanarayana. The music is by K. Chakravarthy with lyrics by Veturi Sundararama Murthy. The film was released on 31 January 1986 and runs for 140 minutes.

Plot:
Raja arrives in the historic village Rathnagiri to find work. An old fort there is believed to hide a treasure. A rich man named Sarvarayudu tries to uncover it by any means. Raja opposes his misdeeds. Padma comes to the village and falls for Raja, but he loves Rani. Raja learns that Sarvarayudu killed his sister and seeks revenge. Rani sacrifices her love to help Raja. The treasure is found and handed to the government, and Raja marries Padma.

Notes:
The song "Manchamesi" was later remixed for the film Seema Sastri. The release was initially delayed because Chiranjeevi was injured during a fight scene for another film. The film was a decent hit and profitable in several centers.
