Biopic on NTR: Vidya Balan, Rana Daggubati and Jisshu Sengupta come TO

Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, one of the
pioneers of Telugu cinema, will now have a
biopic based on him. The late actor
politician's life story will now be adapted on
the big screen with his son Nandamuri
Balakrishna playing the titular role. Directed
by Krish, the film will also star Vidya Balan,
Rana Daggubati and Bengali Bollywood
actor Jisshu Sengupta in titular roles.
The biopic on NTR was launched by Vice
President M Venkaiah Naidu a few days ago
in Hyderabad. As for the characters essayed
by them, like mentioned before Telugu
actor Balakrishna will play the lead role.
Whereas, Vidya Balan is expected to essay
the role of NTR's wife Basavatarakam and
Rana Daggubati will play Andhra Pradesh
Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. As for
Jisshu Sengupta, this film marks his foray
into Telugu cinema and he will play
celebrated filmmaker L V Prasad who
launched NTR in the industry with the film
Mana Desam.
Speaking on his film in recent reports,
Jisshu Sengupta revealed that he is super
excited to work with Krish, the director for
the second time. Since the two are already
acquainted with each other after shooting
for the Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika
The Queen of Jhansi, the two are looking
forward to collaborate again.
Elaborating on his character, Jisshu
expressed his gratitude towards receiving
an opportunity to play the role of such an
iconic filmmaker. He further spoke in
reports about the filmmaker's works which
were highly emotional and dramatic
accompanied some mind blowing
performances. While he has already started
with the prep, Jisshu is also improving his
linguistic skills since the language is
completely new for him.
While the film is expected to kick off this
month, Jisshu will start shooting for the
same from July 6 onwards. As for Vidya
Balan and Rana Daggubati, they are yet to
speak up on the details of the project.

Is it only about his political career? If not I'm curious to know who would portray Sridevi onscreen. Sridevi- Ntr were one of the most successful onscreen pair in the history of Tollywood. Despite massive age difference (40 yrs) most of their films were huge blockbusters. By the time she moved to bolly his career was over!

Sridevi didn't have anything significant to add to his character arc. At best they can show how she played his grand-daughter and also his love interest later.
