Satakarni Seeds in NTR Times!
Gauthami Puthra Satakarni, A Dream project Of Legendary NTR
Legendary NTR is an actor and technician who touched every genre in Telugu cinema. However, his dream of making a feature film on ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni’ was unfulfilled and now his own blood Balakrishna attained this in reality with milestone 100th film.
In fact, NTR prepared Satakarni script long back but could not make it into a movie. His story begins with establishment of Satavahana Kingdom and ends with Gauthami Puthra Satakarni taking up Buddhism. They even thought of roping in Venkatesh for Satakarni’s son Vashishti Puthra Pulomayi role and Balakrishna into flashback character of one more Satavahana King Hala.
In contrast, Balayya and Krish’s GPSK script deals only with unification of India under the one rule of Gauthami Puthra Satakarni beating all the rival armies of Sakas, Yavanas and Pahalavas. All in all, Balakrishna is a proud son who accomplished his father’s outstanding wish.
