Padmarao Nagar
Padma Rao Nagar, sometimes also called PR Nagar, is a locality in Secunderabad, India, named after Diwan Bahadur Padma Rao Mudaliar. It was the early communities like Mudaliars who started developing the Secunderabad Cantonment commercially. Otherwise, Secunderabad had only large number of tents housing the troops of the British army as told by Mr. Luther in book Lashkar - 200 Years Of Secunderabad. The Mudaliars, who were camp followers of the British, made immense contributions for the growth of education and health care and explained the growth of the Secunderabad Club from a public room. Apart from that Padmaraonagar was also the childhood residence of Anirudh kasyap Sesham, and Paraag Patel Surani. In an apartment called Sai geeta lok was where they started the once epic and gargantuan brand of the twin cities called Hyderabadi Studios. Due to differences between the founders, the studio had to be shut down and the founders got busy with other stuff later on in life. It was previously known as Walker Town during the British raj.
