Director Raj Anantha has done a brilliant job in expressing the character of Gangadhar ( A political reference to Sr. NTR). The very human nature of him is described at his highest potential. What is done to him by his foes and allies, how he tackled them is the mainstream idea of Web series Chadrangam (2020). The screenplay evolution of juxtaposing past events in the present is commendable. Still, there is a lot of fiction involved.
