The
much-loved
Balakrishna
is
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
respected
names
in
the
Telugu
film
industry
today.
Tollywood's
resident
'Legend'
enjoys
a
solid
fan
following
because
of
his
bindass
nature,
gripping
screen
presence
and
impressive
body
of
work.
At
present,
NBK
is
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
NTR
Kathanayakudu.
The
film
is
based
on
the
life
of
the
former
Andhra
CM
NTR
and
will
highlight
his
achievements.
It
has
created
a
good
deal
of
buzz
amongst
the
fans
and
is
set
to
get
a
good
release.
Now,
the
details
of
its
pre-release
business
are
out.
NTR
Kathanayakudu
has
raked
nearly
Rs
55
Crore
in
the
AP/TS
region.
Similarly,
the
overseas
rights
have
been
sold
for
Rs
10
Crore.
Here
is
the
complete
and
detailed
list.
These
are
quite
impressive
figures
considering
the
fact
that
NTR
Kathanayakudu
is
a
biopic
and
not
a
mass
film.
It
also
proves
that
NBK
has
still
got
'it'.
NTR
Kathanayakudu
has
been
directed
by
Krish
and
is
an
NBK
production.
The
magnum
opus
was
originally
supposed
to
be
helmed
by
Teja.
However,
the
Nene
Raju
Nene
Mantri
director
opted
out
of
the
film
because
of
some
problems/
creative
differences.
The
film
features
the
Bollywood
beauty
Vidya
Balan
in
the
lead
and
it
is
her
first
Tollywood
film.
NTR
Kathanayakudu
also
features
Rana
Daggubati,
Rakul
Preet,
Nithya
Menen
and
Kalyan
Ram
in
important
roles.
It
is
slated
to
hit
the
screens
on
January
9,
2019.
