Teja, who is going to direct NTR's biopic with Nandamuri Balakrishna as the hero, has said that the film will be very dramatic.

"If a film has to be made on the life of a person, dramatic incidents should have taken place in his or her life. There is so much of drama in the life of NT Rama Rao garu, who rose from being an ordinary person to the status of a great man," Teja says.

"Without a biopic being dramatic, it would end up looking like a documentary," he says, striking a note of caution.

As of now Kalyan Ram playing Hari Krishna's role alone has been confirmed. There is a buzz that Jagapathi Babu will essay the role of Chandrababu Naidu.

The biopic will be made in Telugu and Hindi. Balayya, Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri will produce the project. Teja will reportedly shoot parts of the film in Nimmakuru (NTR's hometown), as also Chennai.

The film will be shot from either January or February next. It's slated for a grand May 28 release, which is the birthday of the legendary thespian-turned-politician.
