BV,
I remember reading about Kalki's superb writings and wondering, if Telugu has any writers in that niche (historical fiction). I put this question to an elderly neighbour, and he replied: Mudigonda Sivaprasad is an eminent writer who is specializing in this particular niche.
I also believe Adavi Bapi Raju wrote some historical fiction. His <b>Himabindu</b>(set in the last days of the Vijayanagar empire) and <b>Gona Ganna Reddi</b>(set in the time of the Empress Rudramadevi) are both considered major classics in Telugu literature.
