NTR Biopic

The announcement of Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna to make biopic of his father and legendary actor N T Rama Rao seems to be landing in politically controversy. Already questions started arising on the projected role of the Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in this film.

Welcoming the decision and also appreciating Balakrishna for taking such bold initiative, NTR’s second wife Lakshmi Parvathi, with whom the relationship of NTR children are strained, raised the question of Chandrababu Naidu’s projection in this film.

Speaking at a TV Channel’s news programme, she warned today that if any effort is made to project Chandrababu Naidu as a `hero’ in the film she would approach the court. Asserting that Chandrababu Naidu was a Villon in N T Rama Rao’s life and also responsible for his untimely death, she claimed that she is having several proofs in this regard, including video voices of late NTR.

Now it would be interesting to note how Balakrishna makes his film with regard to relationship between his father and brother-in-law, who had allegedly `hijacked’ TDP and power from him. Lakshmi Parvathi said if Balakrishna tries to show some sympathy towards his brother-in-law and makes try to show him as a `hero’, she will not allow the film to come out.

However, her claims were strongly condemned by TDP’s `fire brand’ legislator from Vijayawada Bonda Umamaheswara Rao. Countering her arguments in the same news channel, in her presence, he alleged that everyone knowns `Lakshmi Parvathi as the real villon in the life of NTR’. He accused that her arrival only brought disrepute to NTR and makes his life miserable.

Anyhow, Balakrishan, who is basking on the glory of his 100th film “Gautamiputra Satakarni”, is now determined to bring the biopic on his father as his 101th film. He announced that he would be playing the role of his father in the movie and it will cover all aspects of his life. He also said script work for the film was started already. As per reports three writers have been endorsed the task of script work.
