All eyes are set on the Biopic NTR Kathanyakudu, the film based on the former Cheif Minister of Andhra Pradesh NT Rama Rao. The film is all set for a grand worldwide release on January 9,  censor formalities and the CBFC has passed  NTR Kathanyakudi with a U Certificate the film with a clean U certificate.

And, another update is that the film’s duration is said to be 170 minutes, excluding the ‘no smoking’ ads in the beginning and after the interval of the film. But this slightly lengthier runtime is justified since it is difficult to squeeze in the life story of a stalwart who had seen the pinnacle of fame as a movie star and a politician.

Balakrishna has reprised his father’s role in NTR Kathanayakudu. The film has been directed by Krish and produced jointly by Balakrishna, Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Induri. Vidya Balan plays NTR’s wife Basavatarakam’s role in the film.
