Movie lovers cannot forget Natasimha Balakrishna's historical entertainer Gautamiputra Satakarni directed by Krish. The film starring Balakrishna, Shriya, Hema Malini, and others showed the heroic exploits of king Satakarni.
But inside talk is Sr NTR long time back planed to do a project on Gautamiputra Satakarni. Apart from it, he planned to show the exploits of not only Satakarni but also his son Pulamavi. Sr NTR readied the story and planned to cast Venkatesh in the role of Pulamavi.
However, the project did not take off as NTR went on to become the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and became busy in politics. Everyone knows it could have been a sensation had Sr NTR and Venkatesh's film on Satakarni turned into a reality. Venkatesh who missed the golden opportunity to share screen presence with sr NTR however paid his tributes to the great soul by showing NTR in graphics in his film Kalisundam Raa.
