As a Deepavali gift, the makers of the NT Rama Rao biopics have unveiled a poster in which Balakrishna (as NTR) and Nithya Menen (as 'Mahanati' Savitri) are seen. The still pertains to the iconic number 'Lechindi Nidra Lechindi Mahila Lokam' from the movie 'Gundamma Katha'.

After Keerthy Suresh excelled as Savitri in 'Mahanati', Nithya will be seen in a cameo in 'NTR-Kathanayakudu'. As for Balakrishna, he is seen fatter than he actually is.

The Krish directed 'Kathanayakudu' also features Vidya Balan (playing NTR's wife Basavatarakam). It will boast of a number of cameos, mainly of Rakul Preet Singh (as Sridevi), Sumanth (as ANR) Prakash Raj (as Nagi Reddy), among others.

If the film's base story is by Dr. L Srikanth, dialogues are by Sai Madhav Burra. MM Keeravani and VS Gnanasekhar are music director and cinematographer, respectively. Ramakrishna and Monika of 'Rangasthalam' fame are its art directors.
