Nandamuri Balakrishna is busy with NTR, the biopic of his father NTR. Krish is the director and several actors have been picked up to essay crucial roles in NTR. All the roles of actors who worked with with the legendary actor in his career are shown in the first instalment NTR – Kathanayakudu. Legendary actors SV Ranga Rao and Suryakantham worked with NTR in various blockbusters. Krish found it difficult to find the right actor for these roles.

Naga Babu has been initially approached to play SV Ranga Rao in the film but he rejected the offer without disclosing any reason. It is then Krish roped in a theatre artist as he could not chop off the role of SVR from NTR’s biopic. There are talks that Krish also considered Mohan Babu for SVR’s role but he found a perfect replacement through a theatre artist.
