Mahanati, the biopic of legendary actress Savitri released recently and it has been declared as a blockbuster. Balakrishna has been in plans for the biopic of his father NTR but the film has been kept on hold after the film’s director Teja walked out. Teja who is on a break is keen on directing the biopic of young actor Uday Kiran whom he introduced as a lead actor. Uday Kiran shot fame soon in Telugu cinema and he was soon depressed after he tasted a series of debacles.

Unable to battle depression, Uday Kiran hanged himself and passed away at an early age. Teja is one director who got to watch Uday Kiran’s career from a close side and hence he decided to direct the biopic of Uday Kiran. Teja is currently working on the script and an official announcement is expected soon. He is even busy with Rana’s periodic film which will roll later this year.
