I don't have the courage to play that role: NTR
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,October 04 2017]
It was during a 'Bigg Boss' event that NTR first opened up on a biopic of his grandfather. "Rama Rao garu doesn't belong only to one family. He belongs to the entire Telugu community. Ayana Telugu prajala sotthu. If a biopic is being made on his life, it's a will of all the Telugu people," he said.
Asked about Ram Gopal Varma's statement that he will show some controversial aspects of NTR's life, the Junior gave a diplomatic answer. "Let's wait for the film," he averred. Asked as to what he thinks about Balakrishna doing the movie, NTR said, "Brahmandam kadandi! (It will be fabulous!)".
The above statements were made in July.
Latest, he has said that he doesn't have the courage to act in a biopic of his grandpa. "I don't have the courage. It's not that I can't do it but I just don't want to attempt".
The 'Jai Lava Kusa' sensation has also let it be known that he has no complaints regarding anyone wanting to make any biopic. "The day my grandfather left the family and went to serve the people (join politics), he became a priced possession of the state. I don't think anybody can stop anyone from making a film on his life. All are free to do and each one would interpret his story differently," he has told a news agency.
