“The director and producer approached Nawazuddin and narrated the subject, to which the actor responded positively. The agreement is yet to happen, but will be finalised in a few days,” says the source.
There was some confusion around the film as some time back director Madhura Sridhar had also announced a film on KCR, and had apparently, approached the same actor for the role. However, with the launch of the film’s poster, all speculations have been put to rest.
