Actor Junior NTR has not been roped in
to play a pivotal role in upcoming multilingual biopic "Mahanati", a
film on the life of late legendary southern actress Savitri.
"NTR is not part of the project. Whatever you're reading about him
playing a crucial role is nothing but plain rumour," a source close to
the actor told IANS.
Actress Keerthy Suresh plays Savitri in the film, being directed by Nag
Ashwin.
The film will be made in Tamil and Telugu, and will also feature
Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Dulquer Salmaan and Vijay Deverakonda in crucial
roles.
Asked why a biopic on Savitri was being made and not on any other
popular actress, Ashwin had told IANS: "There have been countless
actresses over the last 80 years in Telugu cinema but none have earned
the title of Mahanati. And even today it has solely been reserved for
Savitri."
The film went on floors earlier this month.
It will be a magnum opus set in the golden era and will feature
extensive art work.
