 Recently during the media interaction Vamsi Krishna said, “I had prepared the script on Nageswara Rao’s life even before  the release of Dongata. But I wanted to establish myself in the film  industry first. Now, I feel the time has come  to go ahead with this project- the biopic of Nageswara Rao, a notorious thief of Stuartpuram in the 1970’s.”

Vamsi Krishna  further said, “Our society only knows that Nageswara Rao was a thief. But he was a Robin Hood for the poor. He used to distribute the proceeds from his burglaries among the poor. Nageswara Rao was one of the person who helped many people in various ways and sponsored the education of many poor students. My film will showcase all these unknown aspects of him.” Nageswara Rao was a daredevil robber of Stuartpuram and was shot dead by the police in 1987.

 The sources say that Nani starrer biopic will go on floors either in July or August. On the otherside, Nani will be seen in controversial reality show Bigg Boss 2, which is going to be aired from 10th June 2018.
