Mahesh Babu is the current reigning Superstar of Telugu Cinema. His father, Krishna has been crowned as Superstar by Telugu film lovers of 70's and 80's.
Krishna had a highly volatile friendship with NTR. As a newcomer, he acted with him in few films and then when Krishna became Superstar, still, NTR shared screen with him.
But NTR did not like Krishna doing films like Alluri Seetharamaraju and Kurukshetram against his will. When entire Industry almost, acted in Krishna's film, with lesser known people, NTR made Dana Veera Sura Karna, a major Industry hit.
Mainly, their relationship severed during Alluri Seetharamaraju but NTR after watching the movie appreciated Krishna and acted with him in films like Devudu Chesina Manushulu and few others.
Later, as Krishna is a close friend of Congress leaders, politically he attacked NTR with films like Mandaladeesudu. They became huge controversy and after Rajeev Gandhi's assassination, Krishna did not take much part in politics and there ended their public rivalry.
In NTR biopic, their relationship cannot be ignored. So, Nandamuri Balakrishna, who is producing and acting in his father NTR's role, asked Mahesh Babu to play Krishna, his father, in the film it seems.
Also, for roles of SV Ranga Rao, Krishnam Raju, Sobhan Babu, ANR he has plans to rope in big stars it seems.
Mahesh Babu, according to the reports, accepted the offer, but when will he shoot is still not known. Deepika Padukone is said to have been approached by team in Sridevi's character.
We have to wait and see, how big NTR biopic will be as the cast seems to be highly sensational.
