"It will be a biopic and will contain many unknown facets on the life of NTR," Balakrishna told reporters in his ancestral village Nimmakuru in Krishna district.
Asked who will play NTR's role, the actor jocularly shot back, "I will. Any doubt?"
NTR, known as the pride of Telugus, had acted in about 350 films and was revered as the screen God for his portrayal of roles like Sri Rama, Sri Krishna and Lord Venkateswara besides many mythological and historical characters.
He served as Chief Minister of (united) Andhra Pradesh from 1983 to 1989 and later between December 1994 and August 1995 before his son-in-law dethroned him in an internal party coup.
"Many books have been written on my father. We are collecting several inputs from them and also by speaking to our relatives. The script for the biopic is currently being prepared," Balakrishna said.
