The highly anticipated NTR biopic has grabbed all the attention ever since the makers of the film mad an announcement. The biopic will feature Balakrishna himself in the titular role and will portray the life of NTR. Everything about the film is raising curiosity among the audience. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan and the Baahubali star Rana Daggubati will be seen playing very important roles in the film. Rana will be seen playing Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the biopic on Telugu actor-turned-politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR).
Now, Rana Daggubati revealed the first look of his character on Wednesday. The black-and-white picture features a leaner Rana, who has thick brows and a moustache. In the background is a framed photo of NTR and the look on Rana’s face is contemplative.
Rana captioned the picture, “#RanaChandraBabuNaidu. Shri N.ChandraBabuNaidu 1984.” Before that, Rana teased the first look of the character with the picture of an empty assembly and the focus was on the name Sri N Chandrababu Naidu.
Just yesterday, an image of Rana Daggubati dressed in an all-white look from the sets of the NTR biopic did the rounds on the internet. And if reports are to be believed, the picture got leaked during the weekend when the actor was shooting for the role in Hyderabad.
NT Rama Rao, the man on whom the film is based was an Indian actor, producer, director, editor and politician who served seven years as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Fondly, he is referred to as NTR. He received three National Film Awards for co-producing Thodu Dongalu (1954) and Seetharama Kalyanam (1960) and directing Varakatnam (1970). NTR has also received the erstwhile Rashtrapati Awards for his performance(s) in films like Raju Peda (1954) and Lava Kusa (1963).
