A major development in Indian cinema suggests that NTR might portray Dadasaheb Phalke, the pioneer of Indian filmmaking, in an upcoming biopic. While there is no official confirmation yet, reports indicate that SS Rajamouli, SS Karthikeya, and Varun Gupta recently met NTR to discuss the project and narrate the script.
Early speculation hints that NTR has given a verbal nod to the role. The film is said to be in the works for quite some time, with the announcement teaser for Made in India—produced by Varun Gupta and SS Karthikeya—already released last year.
Currently, NTR is busy shooting for Dragon with Prashanth Neel and has wrapped up War 2. He also has Devara 2 with Koratala Siva and another project with Nelson Dilipkumar lined up.
