Jr NTR to Star in Dadasaheb Phalke Biopic?
Jr NTR is currently busy with big projects like War 2, Prashanth Neel’s film, and Devara 2. But now, a surprising update from Mumbai media has caught everyone’s attention. Reports suggest that Jr NTR might take up a shocking and powerful biopic after these projects, none other than the story of Indian cinema’s founding father, Dadasaheb Phalke.
According to these reports, Jr NTR has shown interest in playing the legendary filmmaker in a grand biopic. The project is said to be backed by SS Rajamouli, his son Karthikeya, and Varun Gupta from Max Studios. The script is reportedly ready, and sources say NTR was excited and immediately gave his nod after hearing it.
However, many feel that portraying Dadasaheb Phalke’s life on screen is no easy task. Despite being a legend, his story is filled with intense drama and emotion, which is quite different from the mass appeal Jr NTR usually brings to his roles. Making such a serious and historical film work with a commercial superstar is a major challenge.
