The second schedule of 'NTR' will be shot in Krishna district's Nimmakuru, where the legendary NT Rama Rao was born and brought up. Ahead of the schedule, director Krish and Nandamuri Balakrishna have been to the town to talk to some of the people who had known NTR personally.

"The shooting has been going on smoothly with the blessings of my parents. It's the first time in the history of Indian cinema that a son is essaying the role of his father on screen. I am not acting in the movie; I am living the subject. 'NTR' is not a commercial movie; it's the story of a great man," Balayya said.

"The greatness of Rama Rao garu is that he never bragged about himself. He was so different in a world where people exaggerate about themselves.

Rana Daggubati is playing N Chandrababu Naidu in the biopic. It's a grand Sankranthi 2019 release.
