When NTR biopic was proposed, people thought that it would be a super duper hit. Teja the first director of the film was replaced by Krish Jagarlamudi. The posters and the photos splashed in the media created a lot of hype.
People liked it. But when the movie Kathanayakudu was released it became a disaster for Sankranthi. Nandamuri fans could not digest it.
The reasons being that some portions were overdone and were away from reality.
Balakrishna was showcased and presented more than the real life of NTR. Now even with Mahanayakudu people are expecting the real portrayal of NTR life.
On the other hand, Lakshmi’s NTR is projecting a different life of the legendary hero.
They are projecting Chandrababu as the backstabber. There is a talk that Krish should have done a crisp movie of the entire life of NTR and not drag it into two parts.
Both the political and Cinema life should have been capsuled into a single part which would be have been more interesting and would not have been a drag.
But however, Krish clarified that the idea of two parts and all other decisions were taken by Balakrishna. Krish just implemented them. Krish indirectly clarified that it was not his fault. Finally, Balaiah has failed in projecting his father NTR.
