Nandamuri Balakrishna is on a high after the success of Gautami Putra Sathakarni. Now he is planning to do a movie on the legend NTR his own father who ruled AP with the tag Telugu Pride. After launching a hospital along Nara Lokesh at Nimmakuru the home town of NTR, Balaiah Babu announced that they will make a movie on the life and history of Senior NTR.
Who will plaay the role of NTR is a different question. Will it be his son Balaiah or grand son junior NTR. But Junior NTR looks very short in stature. Seniro was more than 6 feet. Will the movie have the viceroy episode of NTRs life is another question.
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, popular byname NTR (born May 28, 1923, Nimmakuru, near Machilipatnam, India—died January 18, 1996, Hyderabad), Indian motion-picture actor and director, politician, and government official who founded the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and served three terms (1983–84; 1984–89; and 1994–95) as chief minister (head of government) of Andhra Pradesh state in southeastern India.
As an actor he rose to superstardom among the country’s Telugu-speaking people and parlayed his fame into a successful political career.
NTR had married Basavatarakam Nandamuri in 1942, but she died in 1985. In 1993 he married Lakshmi Parvathi (or Parvati), whom he then tried to groom to be his successor. His actions, however, provoked dissension in the TDP, particularly from Nara Chandrababu Naidu, NTR’s son-in-law and by then one of the party’s highest-ranking members.
Over the next several months Naidu positioned himself to oust NTR from the party leadership, which he successfully accomplished. In August 1995 Naidu took over both as leader of the TDP and as chief minister of the state. NTR died of a heart attack early the following year.
Lets hope the movie will be completed in 3 months time like GPS.
