The biopic of NTR was launched a few weeks ago amid great fanfare and director Teja was supposed to handle it. Unfortunately, the project has been put on hold after Teja’s sudden exit due to some creative differences. It is now back in news with Krish accepting the challenge to direct this prestigious film.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna has made a crucial change to this highly anticipated biopic. Initially, Balakrishna and team wanted to make this biopic in two parts as they wanted to depict NTR’s political career in one part and his transition from being an ordinary person to the iconic Telugu superstar on silver screen in the second part. They planned a two part biopic with two hours each.

However, they have now made up their mind and decided to make it in a single part. Krish also suggested Balakrishna to restrict the biopic to a single part as audience these days is embracing films with running time of three hours and also it will reduce the production cost.

Balakrishna and Krish are now fine tuning the script to make it as a single part. The regular shooting will commence once the casting is finalized. They are planning to release it in 2019.
