Vikramarkudu (2006)

Sattibabu is a cheerful con man in Hyderabad whose biggest worries are his next trick and winning over Neeraja, the girl he has fallen for. His life changes when a little girl turns up claiming he is her father, and he learns about Vikram Singh Rathore, an upright police officer with his face who has been fighting the cruel feudal lord Bavuji in a village in Madhya Pradesh. Ravi Teja plays both men, switching between comedy and intensity. Directed by S. S. Rajamouli from a story by his father V. Vijayendra Prasad, with music by M. M. Keeravani, it was a big hit and was remade in Tamil as Siruthai and in Hindi as Rowdy Rathore (2012) with Akshay Kumar. In Hindi it is known as Pratighat.
