Initially, NTR's biopic was supposed to be done by Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna in the direction of Ram Gopal Varma. However, as Nandamuri fans expressed their concern over the proposed project, the combo's biopic could not get materialized.
Eventually, RGV has decided to go against Balayya annoucing Lakshmi's NTR project while Balakrishna roped in Teja to direct NTR biopic.
In the meanwhile, RGV got an opportunity to direct King Nagarjuna for the former's next. It was unusual. Nagarjuna shocked fans okaying a project with flop director RGV.
Irrespective of RGV's poor track record, Nag fans may not agitate against the project as Balayya's fans did.
Nagarjuna and RGV have great rapport over the decades. Moreover, RGV made his debut with trend setting film Shiva. Furthermore, Nagarjuna appears to be fit for some of the roles depicted in RGV's films. Considering all these facts, Akkineni fans have no regrets on their hero working with RGV.
