Why He Refused To Direct NTR?

Till recently it was alleged that Maverick director Ram Gopal Varma announced Lakshmi's NTR, controversial film only after he got furious when Natasimha Balakrishna did not choose him as the director for the prestigious biopic on his dad legendary actor NTR.

Everyone knows the fate of NTR biopic's first part Kathanayakudu and no one is showing interest in the second part Mahanayakudu which is releasing on Feb 22. In the meantime RGV who is hogging all the media limelight by releasing the controversial videos and posters of Lakshmi's NTR made sensational revelations.

RGV said it was he who refused to direct NTR. He said when Balakrishna offered him chance to direct the biopic he at once rejected the film. He went on to question, “One cannot take a biopic just showing NTR's rise to stardom without touching on the real drama which started only with the entry of Lakshmi Parvati into his life. There is no point in making a biopic if one does not show it."

RGV compared it saying, “It is like taking Mahatma Gandhi biopic without showing his fight against the Britishers" He said he is not a fool to announce Lakshmi's NTR out of anger that Balakrishna refused him the offer to direct NTR biopic as reported in some sections in the media.
