Another hero in NTR biopic

Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Teja are soon joining hands for the biopic of iconic Telugu superstar and politician N.T. Ramarao. Eponymously titled as NTR, the film will see Balakrishna stepping into the shoes of his father’s role. It has already been reported that Balakrishna will be seen straddling multiple avatars in his much awaited flick.

Telugu360 has exclusively learnt that the makers of this film are on the lookout for another prominent actor who could fit the bill for essaying young NTR’s role. As the biopic chronicles different stages of NTR’s life, director Teja and Balakrishna felt that they need to rope in some other actor who justifies the look and appearance of the legendary star in his tender age. True that Balakrishna cannot go for a makeover which would make him as younger as NTR was in his 20s and 30s.

So they are considering the names of several actors for this role. Earlier, there were reports that Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna will debut with this film. But, no clarification has been made in this regard.

It would be interesting to be seen if Teja ropes in a new face or a prominent young hero to play young NTR’s character.
