stepping into a role that was initially
going to be played by Sridevi in NTR's
eponymous biopic.
Deccan Chronicle reports that the makers
had previously approached Vidya Balan
for Basavatarakam's role followed by
Paresh Rawal for Nadendla Bhaskara
Rao's role.
A source told the publication, "The
makers are approaching Deepika
Padukone for Sridevi's cameo role. NTR
and Sridevi's combination was a big hit
and they had many popular songs. It's a
short role and they feel that Deepika is
perfect for it.
The film's full star cast will be announced
soon. It will be filmed in Hyderabad.
