What happens

Anaganaga O Dheerudu (released internationally as Once Upon A Warrior) is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language fantasy adventure film written and directed by Prakash Kovelamudi in his first mainstream film. It is produced by Walt Disney Pictures and A Bellyful of Dreams Entertainment and stars Siddharth, Shruti Haasan, and Lakshmi Manchu, and Baby Harshitha. The film focuses on the journey of Moksha, a nine-year-old girl with special healing powers, and Yodha, her fierce warrior bodyguard, as they travel to a faraway village to save its children, under the constant menace of the evil witch Irendri. Shruti Hassan and Lakshmi Manchu made their Telugu debut through this film. It features a musical score by Salim–Sulaiman, an ensemble soundtrack by Salim–Sulaiman, M. M. Keeravani, Koti, and Mickey J. Meyer, while cinematography and editing are handled by Soundararajan and Sravan Katikaneni, respectively. The film was released internationally on January 14, 2011, during the Sankranti festival, to average reviews and box office collections. Dubbed versions in Tamil and Malayalam were created but their release was put on hold indefinitely due to the unexpected failure of the Telugu version. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
