What happens

Nippulanti Manishi (transl. Fire-like Man) is a 1974 Indian Telugu-language action film directed by S. D. Lal and produced by Y. V. Rao. It stars N. T. Rama Rao and Latha, with music composed by Satyam. A remake of the Hindi film Zanjeer (1973), it became a silver jubilee hit and played a role in revitalizing Rama Rao's career.
