Sumanth as ANR is elegant
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,September 20 2018]
Marking the occasion of the legendary ANR's 94th birth anniversary today, Sumanth's ANR look from the prestigious biopic 'NTR' was unveiled. The words 'ANR Lives On' are mentioned on the poster, the one term that the Akkinenis have stayed with since 'Manam'.
A bespectacled Sumanth is seen smiling gracefully, much like Nageshwara Rao, in the Look. He has done enough of homework to be able to pull off his grandfather's role in this Krish Jagarlamudi-directed biopic. In 'Mahanati', it was Naga Chaitanya who played ANR. For Sumanth, it's quite easy to better Chay's act for obvious reasons! After Rana Daggubati adopted himself to N Chandrababu Naidu's gait, looks like Sumanth too is at it.
Starring Balakrishna as the legendary NT Rama Rao, this one also features Vidya Balan (playing NTR's wife Basavatarakam). It will boast of a number of cameos, mainly of Rakul Preet Singh (as Sridevi), 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 Santosh Thundiyil are music director and cinematographer, respectively. Ramakrishna and Monika of 'Rangasthalam' fame are its art directors.
