Ram Gopal Varma refutes rumours of JD Chakravarthy playing the role of Chandrababu in 'Lakshmi's NTR'

JD Chakravarthy

’s name seems to be constantly linked to Ram Gopal Varma’s

NTR biopic

‘Lakshmi’s NTR’ no matter how much he – in the words of Taylor Swift – would like to be excluded from this narrative.

First there was news that the

RGV

favourite will be returning to the fold by turning producer for the project. Rumours did rounds on several platforms before RGV had to take to social media to post, "News reports circulating that JD Chakravarthy is producing

Lakshmi's NTR

are totally wrong." (sic) In fact, it is a YSRCP leader who's funding the project.

Now, yet again JD Chakravarthy’s name has been linked to the project, saying the actor will be essaying the role of none other than AP Chief Minister Nara

Chandrababu Naidu

in the project. Yet again RGV had to take to social media to post, “The media reports that J. D. Chakravarthy is playing the role of CBN are as truly false as much as falsely true of CBN not at all playing his role in the viceroy hotel drama ..I swear this both on my mother and grand mother on this truth.” (sic)

He also announced that the filming for ‘Lakshmi’s NTR’ will start in April next year, with the film set for release in September.
