The dashing Rana Daggubati is beyond any doubt one of the most charismatic stars in the Telugu film industry today. The actor enjoys a strong fan following thanks to his raw looks, charismatic personality and bindass nature. During his career, he has starred in quite a few popular films and this has helped him become an integral part of the Telugu film industry. Now, here is some great news for all you Rana Daggubati fans out there. In an exciting development, the Baahubali actor has officially joined the cast of the NTR biopic and will apparently be playing the current Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu in the eagerly-awaited film.

Confirming that he is a part of the NTR biopic, Rana Daggubati indicated that he agreed to be a part of the film, as it tells the story of a great man.

The NTR biopic will be directed by Krish and features Telugu actor Balakrishna in the titular role. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan will be playing the female lead in the film. The NTR biopic is the first Tollywood film of her career. Interestingly, the film was originally supposed to be directed by Nene Raju Nene Mantri director Teja.

However, he opted out much to the disappointment of his fans. Thereafter, Krish was roped in to wield the microphone. The film-maker is best known for directing the critically-acclaimed Kanche and the Bollywood film Gabbar Is Back. The general feeling is that his involvement might add a new dimension to the NTR biopic.

On a related note, this is a busy time for Rana Daggubati. Besides the NTR biopic, he also has 1945 and Haathi Mere Saathi in his kitty. 1945 is a period film and is being shot simultaneously in Tami and Telugu. In it, he will be seen opposite actress Regina Cassandra. On the other hand, Haathi Mere Saathi's a Hindi-Telugu bilingual and is touted to be a tribute to the yesteryear Bollywood classic of the same name.
