NTR: Tamil Stars Are Junior Artists

Nandamuri Balakrishna and his director Krish in order to multiply buzz on the most prestigious project NTR, biopic on the late actor and legendary politician Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, are roping in prominent stars to play various roles.

The biopic features Vidya Balan as Basavatarakam, Aamani as Lakshmi Parvathi, Nandamuri Mokshagna as Young N T Rama Rao, Rana Daggubati as Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Manjima Mohan as Nara Bhuvaneswari, Himmansi Chowdary as Daggubati Purandeswari, Bharath Reddy as Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, Sachin Khedekar as N Bhaskara Rao, Sumanth as Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Nithya Menen as Savitri, Mahesh Babu as Krishna and Kalyan Ram as Harikrishna.

Interestingly, the makers who roped in prominent faces for the roles of Telugu superstars and family members of NTR are said to be using junior actors for the roles of Tamil superstars. As is known, NTR shares good rapport with Tamil star heroes MGR and Sivaji Ganesan. Besides using at least known artists for these roles, the makers zeroed in junior artists.

Had Balakrishna signed Tamil star heroes to reprise the roles of MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and few other Tamil veterans, NTR will surely create wonders in Tamil as well, opine analysts.
