On the eve of NTR’s birth anniversary, makers of the legendary actor-politician’s biopic made an important announcement. It has come to light that Krish Jagarlamudi, the director who is currently working on Kangana Ranaut’s Manikarnika will be directing the film. The announcement was made through a video, voiced by Balakrishna himself as he hoped to get his father’s blessing for the project.
The film was initially supposed to be directed by Teja. In fact, the pooja ceremony for the film was held in his presence and talks about Vidya Balan playing an important role also surfaced. It was also revealed that Rana Daggubati is in talks to play the role of N Chandra Babu Naidu in the film.
