The
role
of
Gona
Ganna
Reddy
in
director
Gunasekhar's
movie
Rudhramadevi
has
created
a
lot
of
curiosity
among
the
film
goers.
Earlier,
the
names
of
Superstar
Mahesh
Babu
and
Mass
Maharaja
Ravi
Teja
were
considered
for
the
character.
The
latest
buzz
is,
young
tiger
Junior
NTR
will
reprise
the
role
in
the
Anushka
Shetty
starrer
period
drama.
It
was
reported
earlier
that
Gunasekhar
had
approached
Mahesh
Babu,
who
had
given
his
consent
to
play
Gona
Ganna
Reddy
in
his
much-talked
about
period
drama
Rudhramadevi.
He
was
to
allot
20
days
for
the
project,
but
he
could
not
do
it
due
to
date
issues.
After
he
opted
out
of
the
film,
the
director
reportedly
tried
to
rope
Ravi
Teja.
However,
things
did
not
fall
in
place.
Now,
a
rumour
is
fast
spreading
that
Gunasekhar
wants
to
cast
Junior
NTR
for
this
important
role
in
Rudhramadevi.
But
it
is
not
known
whether
the
young
tiger,
who
has
earlier
starred
as
child
artiste
in
Gunasekhar's
Bala
Ramayanam
in
1997,
has
given
his
consent
for
the
project
or
not.
However,
it
is
not
clear
who
will
play
the
role
in
the
movie.
Rudhramadevi
is
a
historical
3D
film
made
on
a
budget
of
around
Rs
50
crore.
Anushka
Shetty
is
playing
lead
role
-
Rudrama
Devi,
Queen
of
the
Kakatiya
dynasty,
while
Rana
Daggubati
appears
as
Chalukya
Veerabhadra.
Prakash
Raj
and
Krishnam
Raju
are
playing
important
roles
in
it.
