NTR Biopic: Rakul Preet to do Sridevi Role

Hyderabad, Aug 08: The much-awaited Telugu biopic on the life of legendary actor and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao was officially launched recently.

The Telugu film has been grabbing headlines all over. While Bollywood actress Vidya Balan will be playing the role of NTR’s wife Basavatarakam in the upcoming film, Rakul Preet Singh is step into the shoes of legendary actress Sridevi for NTR biopic.

According to reports, Rakul was approached to play Sridevi in the biopic of legendary actor-politician NTR. It is said that Rakul has agreed in principle, but is yet to discuss her dates with the NTR biopic team.

It was earlier reported that actresses Sonakshi Sinha, Rakul Preet and Shraddha Kapoor were in contention to play Sridevi in the biopic. However, the makers have refuted the rumours and added that Rakul was their only choice.

The actress, however, is yet to sign on the dotted owing to her busy schedule. "Rakul would love to do the role as she's a big Sridevi fan. But she hasn't discussed the details of the film yet with the team, as she's busy shooting for four films. She needs to figure out her dates for the biopic," her spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Incidentally, Rakul has worked with NTR’s grandson NTR Jr.

The film will star NTR's son Nandamuri Balakrishna in the titular role, while Rana Daggubati will play his son-in-law and current AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu.
