Lady Amitabh's big break

A single movie can change the fate of a star. This has been proved many times in the history of movies. One such cult movie that made Vijayashanti as firebrand star was Prathighatana.

Released in 1985, Prathighatana established Vijayashanti as a star to reckon with. Media baron Ramoji Rao produced the movie based on some incidents that happened in Andhra Pradesh. T Krishna, popular for making movies based on the leftist ideology, was the man behind this sensation movie.

It was also remade in Hindi as Pratighaat (1987) successfully and in Tamil as 'Poo Ondru Puyalaanadhu'. Here we provide the movie's original poster.
