Earlier on Wednesday, Vidya Balan put out her Basavatarakam look from the movie 'NTR-Kathanayakudu'. It was an unofficial release as she seems to have got it clicked personally. Ideally, the 'Tumhari Sulu' actress shouldn't have uploaded it on Instagram and Twitter but she did out of curiosity perhaps. Hours later, the still was found deleted.

Probably, the makers of the NT Rama Rao biopic have asked her to delete it as their plan must be to unveil it on some future occasion. When raw stills are leaked or posted like this, the excitement around them would be absent during the official release.

Rakul Preet playing Sridevi and Nandamuri Kalyanram playing late Harikrishna are the recent additions to the film's cast. The biopic will be released in two installments. 'Kathanayakudu' will be out on Jan 9, and 'Mahanayakudu' on Jan 24.
