Natasimha Balakrishna's prestigious project, biopic on his dad NTR has already completed 60 percent of the shooting and post production is going on simultaneously. Expectations are increasing as the first looks of various stars are going viral on social media.
The filmmakers are planning to cast Super Star Mahesh Babu in the role of Tollywood trendsetter Krishna. Currently Mahesh is busy shooting for his upcoming entertainer Maharshi in USA. It takes another one month for him to return to Hyderabad.
If Mahesh gives green signal, the makers can finish off shooting in couple of days. But the question is will Mahesh give his nod to star in the role of his dad. Many times Mahesh refused to star in the remakes of his dad Krishna's films and wonder whether he will get ready to star in his dad's role. Already Balakrishna spoke with Mahesh Babu over phone but the details of the conversation are not revealed.
NTR and Krishna starred in many multi starrers and Devudu Chesina Manushulu is one such blockbuster. They last featured in Vayyari Bhamalu Vagalamari Bhartalu before NTR entered politics.
Krishna came up with few satirical films on NTR like Sahasame Naa Oopiri, Naa Pilupe Prabhanjanam, opposing NTR government's policies in the state. Later he produced films Gandikota Rahasyam and Mandaladheesudu targeting him though he didn’t star in him.
The roles resembling NTR in these films was filled with extreme negativity. In such circumstances the makers of NTR biopic cannot show Krishna's opposition to NTR in it. So Mahesh Babu may reject the offer diplomatically without hurting the sentiments of his dad Krishna and also Balakrishna. If that happens his brother in law NTR biopic may be tried for the role or else the makers may do away with Krishna's role in the biopic.
