Komaram Bheem fought against the cess that was imposed by the Nizam government. He defied courts and the law, choosing to depend on the forest. He took up cudgels against Nizam Nawab's soldiers, and fighting Babi Jhari, he breathed his last.
A movie, Komaram Bheem, was made directed by Allani Sridhar, which received several awards such as A P State Nandi Awards, Best Feature Film on National Integration and Best First Film of Director Allani Sridhar.
