NTR had played several Hindu deities in the 1950s, earning the moniker ‘messiah of the masses’. He received three National Film Awards for co-producing Thodu Dongalu (1954) and Seetharama Kalyanam (1960) under National Art Theater, Madras, and directing Varakatnam (1970).
He also founded the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in 1982 and served three terms as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh between 1983 and 1995. He was known to be an advocate of Andhra Pradesh’s cultural identity.
The movie is produced by Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Sai Korrapati, and directed by Teja, who last directed Nene Raju Nene Mantri with Rana Daggubati.
Last year, Ram Gopal Varma had announced his Telugu film Lakshmi’s NTR. RGV had emphasised that instead of making the biopic from the perspective of NTR, he will narrate it from the standpoint of his wife Lakshmi Parvathi.
