It’s an election year, and political parties in Andhra Pradesh are back to their moves on the big screen to project their leaders either as a villain or hero.
Ahead of the elections in 2019, a series of politically-motivated movies hit the silver screen. In January that year, actor and Hindupur MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna had come up with ‘NTR: Kathanayakudu’, a biopic about former Chief Minister and TDP founder N.T. Rama Rao. A month later, on February 7, its sequel, ‘NTR: Mahanayakudu’, was released.
While ‘NTR: Kathanayakudu’ depicted the journey of NTR, right from his entry into the cinema industry to his foray into politics, the sequel showed a part of his political journey, with Rana Daggubati playing the role of Nara Chandrababu Naidu. Both the biopics were directed by acclaimed filmmaker Krish Jagarlamudi.
