He divulged that he had approached senior actress Vani Vishwanath to essay a prominent role in the film.
He said that all the characters in NTR’s personal life will be showcased in his film. He further said that several crucial episodes in NTR’s life, including Lakshmi Parvathi marrying Veeragandham Subbarao in her second marriage, and later leaving him for NTR will also be showcased in the biopic.
