A video clip of Sri Reddy seems to suggest that Mahesh Babu will be seen in Nandamuri Balakrishna's biopic of NTR.  "Big stars like Balayya Babu and Mahesh Babu garu are acting in this film," the controversial actress is heard saying in the clip.

Her words are being taken seriously by sections of Mahesh Babu's fans.  It's because she is part of the ambitious flick.  Teja had recently roped her in for a role.  

It's speculated that Mahesh Babu will be seen as Superstar Krishna in a cameo just as Naga Chaitanya will be seen as ANR in 'Mahanati'.  It's the 'Varasathvam' logic.  

'NTR' is the Telugu film industry's pride.  It won't be surprising if Balayya wants to leverage his association with seniors like Krishna to pull off a casting coup.
