Ram Gopal Varma today announced that his movie on late NTR's life will begin in February 2018. "I will start the shoot in Feb and will be released in October. My film will be truthful to NTR's life. No sugar-coated version will be made," he reiterated.

RGV is going to tell the life story of NT Rama Rao from the day Lakshmi Parvathi, NTR's widow, had entered in his life. Titled 'Lakshmi's NTR', the film will be produced by P Rakesh Reddy, an YSRC leader from Palamaneru of Andhra Pradesh.

"Like Mahabharat has 18 chapters, NTR's life had many chapters. I am telling just one part. Don't construe it as a political movie. I am picturising NTR's life as his fan," RGV said.
