Will Gautamiputra Satakarni have its own Katappa?

Starting from May 9, the unit of Gautamiputra Satakarni will start shooting in Morocco.  Krish is going for war sequences in the very first schedule.  Producer Rajeev Reddy has said that two of the three major war sequences will be shot in this schedule.

He has also confirmed that Bollywood actor Kabir Bedi has been roped in to play a "crucial role" in this historical.  Are we in for another Sathya Raj-kinda surprise?  Kabir Bedi is unfamiliar to the Telugu audience.  Even though his might not be as crucial a role as Sathyaraj's in Baahubali, he may turn out to be the film's Katappa in terms of the importance he has, at least during the portions he is in.

The team will whizz off to the North African country soon.  The producer has told a national media house that they might shoot the entire portions at a stretch there or shoot in two different schedules, one after returning to Hyderabad and going back.

Hema Malini is playing Balayya's mother, Gautami, in this movie.  Nayanatara was approached for the role of the female lead, but she couldn't accommodate the dates till September.
