Everyone knows that YS Rajasekhar Reddy and Chandra Babu Naidu used to be bitter rivals. Though both started their journey as thick friends in the Congress party, later Chandra Babu Naidu joined TDP and the rest is history. Both went on to become Chief Ministers of united Andhra Pradesh and both fought many bitter battles.

While Chandra Babu became CM for the first time in 1995 and led TDP to victory in 1999, YSR became CM in 2004 and led Congress to victory in 2009. In a surprising twist, an upcoming actor Sri Tej played the roles of these bitter rivals on screen.

In NTR biopic featuring Balakrishna as NTR, he played the role of YSR and now in Ram Gopal Varma's Lakshmi's NTR, he is playing the role of Chandra Babu Naidu. It is surprising that while Krish saw YSR in Sri Tej, RGV saw CBN in him.

Sri Tej earlier played the role of Devineni Nehru in RGV's Vangaveeti and later played key roles in Touch Chesi Choodu and Aatagaallu.
