Rajiga vori Raajigaa
'Rajiga vori Raajigaa' is an emotional journey of a young activist Rajendher (aka Rajiga) who is coping with severe loss of family members and fellow activists to suicides, set in a hamlet in Telangana.
There were over 1500 suicides for the cause of Telangana (2009-2014) which both state & federal government of India ignored for a long period of time, the issue was finally resolved in June 2014 by the birth of the 29th state of India 'Telangana'. (This was the same time that the Arab Spring was going on but didn't receive much press in India or abroad.)

Borrowing Satyajit Rays Quote
"For the truly serious, socially conscious film maker, there can be no prolonged withdrawal into fantasy. He must face the challenge of contemporary reality, examine the facts, probe them, sift them and select from them the material to be transformed into the stuff of cinema." from 'Our Films, Their Films' (1958).
JayaPrakash Telangana believes that any or all forms of creativity need to have some kind of social relevance.
