Nandamuri Balakrishna has been an undisputed king in Telugu cinema and he has been in plans to bring out the biopic of his father and legendary actor turned politician NTR. The movie has been titled NTR and the film had a grand launch last month. But soon the film’s director Teja walked out of the prestigious film after which there have been wide speculations that the film got shelved. Balakrishna was not in a mood to shelve the project and kept his efforts to keep the film alive.
నన్ను నమ్మి ఇంత బాధ్యత నాకప్పగించిన బాలకృష్ణ గారికి నా కృతజ్ఞతలు. ఇది కేవలం ఒక సినిమా బాధ్యత కాదు.

ప్రపంచంలోని తెలుగువాళ్లందరి అభిమానానికి, ఆత్మాభిమానానికి అద్దంపట్టే బాధ్యత. మనసా వాచా కర్మణా నిర్వర్తిస్తానని మాటిస్తున్నాను. #NTRBiopic https://t.co/GgSrg3ZZI7
