Unlike Bollywood's filmmakers, Tollywood's filmmakers are least interested in making of biopics. We have very few number of biopics which have been made on the lives of contemporary generation's celebs.
Director Ram Gopal Varma, however, won the accolades of the critics making two controversial biopics 'Raktha Charithra' and 'Vangaveeti'. He has also successfully twisted the stories of both the films. Vangaveeti Radha and Ranga were treated as a caste's representatives and had been involved in wide range of charitable activities. Rgv, however projected them as 'Vijayawada rowdies' hiding their good qualities.
Now that Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna announced that he would play lead role in NTR's biopic, various interpretations are being made. Movie folks have a few directors in their mind, whom do they think they would handle the script well. It was learnt that Trivikram and Puri Jagannadh have been approached to hold the direction responsibilities of the project.
According to some observers, Rgv can handle better the script of NTR's biopic. The TDP's activists are hoping that Chandrababu would be shown as a hero while Lakshmi Parvathi has to be made a villain in the film. "As Rgv is known for twisting actual stories, he can handle better the script more than anyone else," says a movie lover.
