The most awaited biopic of the Telugu community, NTR is in the pre-production stage. Meanwhile, the makers made their time to quash some rumors.Ever since the announcement of NTR biopic has made by the hero Nandamuri Balakrishna, there have been many speculations over the internet regarding lead cast. As Balayya himself is donning the character of his father NTR, rumors went haywire regarding the female leads. If we talk about NTR there are two women in his life. One is his demised wife Basavatarakam and the other is his second wife Lakshmi Parvathi. It was hugely speculated that the makers have approached talented Malayalam beauty Nithya Menon for the role of Basavatarakam. Not stopping there, some media houses and websites have declared this news as official.
Now the producer Sai Korrapati made it very clear that this news is completely false. He said that the core team of NTR biopic is still looking for a suitable actress but they didn’t contact Nithya Menon by any means. He also cleared that Nithya was not even on the list of suitable actresses for Basavatarakam’s role. On the same note, Sai asked all not to conclude anything based on the internet as the team will officially announce the lead casting. For now, the director Teja has done test shooting to cut a teaser only to release it on the day of NTR’s death anniversary.
Vishnu Induri and Sai Korrapati are jointly bankrolling this project. Balayya is presenting this flick along with playing the lead role. The movie will be out in the month of August or so but not earlier.
