Biographical films are the current trend of Tollywood. After legendary actress Savitri’s biopic Mahanati turning out to be a smashing hit, the Telugu film industry suddenly got caught in a frenzy fire to mint biopic films of all prominent figures till date.

Balakrishna made biopic on his late father NTR as two parts series- NTR Kathanayakudu and NTR Mahanayakudu. Directed by Krish, the two part series of NTR biopic ended as epic disaster.

Director Mahi V Raghav had taken up YS Rajasekhar Reddy’s biopic titled Yatra. The movie covered the journey of the politician right from the inception of his career to all aspects of his life. Yatra that starred Mamootty, the Malayalam superstar, turned out as an average grosser.

Now, all eyes are on controversial maker Ram Gopal Varma’s version of NTR biopic titled Lakshmi’s NTR. The movie is based on a book bearing the same name written by Lakshmi Parvathi. Lakshmi’s NTR is scheduled for release on 29th of this month.

Lately, Rajamouli announced that, his film Rrr with NTR and Ram Charan is based on legendary freedom fighters- Alluri Seetha Rama Raju and Komaram Bheem. While some were happy to hear that, the film is biopic of two legendary people, few others got worried as few Telugu biopics in recent times bombed at box office.

Nonetheless, one need not to worry as Rrr is helmed by most successful filmmaker Rajamouli who didn’t make a flop of late and he is known to break such sentiments.

Not just Telugus, but entire nation is anticipating for Rrr. However, we need to wait for more than a year to watch the film on big screen!
