NTR Biopic was launched with much fanfare in the direction of Teja in March 2018.
The event was attended by several of Telugu celebrities and Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu. However, Teja walked out of the project after a month's shoot due to differences with Balakrishna.
It was said that Teja was dead against Balakrishna playing the role of young NTR. He wanted either NTR Jr or Sharwanand to essay that part and show Balakrishna in twilight years of NT Rama Rao.
He also suggested Balakrishna to restrict the number of getups and focus more on little-known facets of NT Rama Rao's life.
Teja and Balakrishna both known for having hyper-mentality didn't come to an understanding. It led to Krish coming on board as the director in the place of Teja.
Now that "NTR Kathanayakudu", the first part of NTR Biopic, turned out to be colossal flop, industry people are calling Teja and appreciating that he did right step.
They say his ideas were good rather than Krish's treatment of NTR's acting life.
