Nandamuri Balakrishna has been personally overlooking the pre-production activities of his next film NTR which marks the biopic of his father and legendary actor NTR. Teja is the director and Balakrishna wanted several pan Indian actors for the project so that the film gets a wide release across all the Indian languages. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has been approached to play the role of NTR’s wife Basavatarakam in the movie.

Though Vidya Balan sounded positive during the narration, the actress did not confirm about playing the role. With over three weeks, the makers are now left puzzled if Vidya Balan will make it to the sets. The regular shoot of NTR will commence from the first week of May and some crucial episodes on Balakrishna will be shot initially. NTR has been slated for Dasara release and is bankrolled by Balakrishna himself.
