What happens

Major Chandrakanth is a 1993 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao and written by the Paruchuri brothers. Produced by Mohan Babu under the Sree Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures banner, the film stars N. T. Rama Rao in the title role, alongside Mohan Babu, Nagma, Ramya Krishna, Sarada, and Amrish Puri. The music for the film was composed by M. M. Keeravani. The film released on 23 April 1993 and was a major box office success. The film's success was boosted by a popular soundtrack, especially the song "Punyabhumi Na Desam." The film marked N. T. Rama Rao's final acting performance, even though Srinatha Kavi Sarvabhoumudu (1993) released later. While Major Chandrakanth was completed after Srinatha Kavi Sarvabhoumudu, it was released earlier.
