Here is a quick recap on Sri Allama Prabhu – 12th century Prabhu is not a mere metaphysician but a real master of excellence and perfection. The peculiar excellence of man is his power of thought by which he surpasses and rules all forms of life. As the growth of thought gives him his supremacy, so its development gives him fulfillment and happiness. The chief condition of happiness is the life of reason which represents the specific glory and power of man. Prabhu does not discard the life of reason; on the contrary, it finds its full expression in his life and action. He does not spare chastising even Basava for his one sided attachment to sham Jangamas. He upholds virtue which implies a masculine sort of excellence. For him virtue depends upon self-control, symmetry of desire and artistry of means.

As of now TS Nagabharana is traveling Balligavi and to find locations to shoot in right locations. He has plans to make this film in Telugu and Marathi as the legendary Allama Prabhu is known as ‘Allamanatha’ in those regions.
