rana daggubati joins the cast of ntr biopic
After months of speculation, actor Rana Daggubati on Friday officially announced that he will star in upcoming biopic NTR. “Coming together to tell you a story of an incredible human phenomenon called “N.T.RamaRao”(sic),” the Baahubali star wrote on his Twitter page along with a picture of himself with director Krish and film’s protagonist Balakrishna.
Rana is said to be playing the role of NTR’s son-in-law N. Chandrababu Naidu. He is the latest addition to an already star-studded cast, which also boasts of Bollywood star Vidya Balan and Bengali actor Jisshu Sengupta.
While Vidya will be essaying the role of NT Rama Rao’s wife Basavatarakam, Jisshu will be seen as filmmaker and Dadasaheb Phalke awardee LV Prasad, who launched NTR in films in 1949 with Mana Desam.
Earlier this year, the film was launched in a grand event in Hyderabad, which was attended by Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, who also gave the clap for muhurat shot. While director Teja was earlier announced to co-write and direct the biopic, he opted out of the project after the initial hype citing “creative differences”.

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”.

Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol.
