The first trailer of Krish Jagarlamudi’s much-awaited two-part biopic on Telugu screen legend and former chief minister NT Rama Rao was released on December 21. In NTR Kathanayakudu, NTR’s son, Nandamuri Balakrishna, plays the lead role, while Vidya Balan plays his first wife, Basavatarakam.
The trailer gives a sneak peek of NTR's life, right from his early days, to becoming an actor and then the chief minister. Apart from Nandamuri Balakrishna and Vidya Balan, the other actors in the film like Rana Daggubati as Chandrababu Naidu, Rakul Preet Singh as Sridevi and others haven't been introduced so far.
