Answer:
This Caesar died a betrayed man. They all came to bury him. They have come now to exhume Caesar. Lest they are buried politically. That in a nutshell is what the biopic about Nandamuri Tharaka Rama Rao (NTR), film star and former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, is all about.
In the process, the Nandamuri family, which for decades rode the crest of Andhra filmdom, will find its dirty linen being washed in public, thanks to the biopic that eulogises the person they once turned into a pariah.
Ironically, they are producing and financing that biopic to see if it can reverse their father’s party’s currently reversing fortunes.
The first biopic, NTR Kathanayakudu, released this Wednesday. It tells the story of the man, from a fresh graduate to the heartthrob of the state, ending with his pledge to enter politics to revive Telugu pride.
The second one, NTR Mahanayakudu, will tell the saga of his brush with politics, his successful experiment with ‘anti-Congressism’, his fight with Indira Gandhi, his political morality. The question is whether and how this biopic will tackle the ‘coup’ at home by his own son-in-law and his isolation from his own family.
These biopics, produced by NTR’s son and actor Balakrishna, we are made to understand, want the prospective voters of Andhra to remember NTR the ‘nata sarvabhauma’ (emperor of acting), which was how he was introduced on the screen.
Director Ram Gopal Varma, much to the discomfiture of the NTR family, is coming up with yet another biopic, Laxmi’s NTR, which talks about two subjects taboo in the first two films: NTR’s life with Laxmi Parvati and the role of Chandrababu Naidu in the dethroning of NTR.
The battle lines for the electoral challenge in 2019 in Andhra, both the general and state elections, are thus being drawn at least on celluloid. How they turn the reel into real is to be seen.
In the starry-eyed state, the general public will store away the politics at the back of its mind and watch again and again not one, not two, but three films on their evergreen hero. NTR can still and perhaps will always draw crowds in Andhra.
Ask his grandson, Junior NTR! Here is the catch, politically. The films will be box office hits, no doubt. But will that automatically mean that the NTR fans will also vote for Telugu Desam Party (TDP)? The last word will be said on election day, not before.
The ‘nata sarvabhauma’ must have chuckled on Wednesday as his biopic filled the screens in his home state on Wednesday. What a travesty! There was a time, between 1991 and 1996, when his family turned against him after he married Laxmi Parvati.
They thought she would take NTR away from them. So the family rebelled against him. They thought she would be his political successor. So the TDP leaders led by Naidu rebelled against him.
NTR’s son, Harikrishna, who drove the former’s campaign vehicle and organised his campaign, was instrumental in planning the coup with Naidu. NTR, for all his gusto, remained a political novice. He died a recluse, unwanted and ignored.
Harikrishna had other reasons to dislike Naidu. He made Harikrishna a minister, but he had to step down as he could not win an assembly election within the stipulated six months. Naidu hardly gave credence to whatever Harikrishna said. Finally, they parted on bitter terms. Harikrishna died recently and will thus not witness the impact of the biopic on his family and Naidu’s politics.
In the 2009 elections, the credit for the TDP campaign went to Junior NTR, grandson of NTR and son of Harikrishna. Harikrishna was the ‘sarathi” (charioteer) of Chaitanya Ratham, NTR’s campaign vehicle as he launched Telugu Desam in 1982. Junior NTR, clad in khakis like his grandfather and with a startling resemblance to him, also travelled in the Chaitanya Ratham in 2009. The people who had seen the original NTR in his chariot in 1982, saw him again in the form of his grandson 27 years later. The junior’s image went up in people’s minds.
Thus stands divided the immediate family of NTR on the Naidu question. The biopic brought them together after the message was passed along that they would belittle NTR if they did not come together for the film’s release. That’s why, the entire family was present at the release of the film’s trailer. Naidu was not there, but was represented by his wife, NTR’s daughter Bhuvaneshwari. They all spoke. Junior NTR, his cousins, his uncles and aunts. They spoke for themselves, as individuals and not as a family.
NTR, for them, was not one but two persons. One was their father. The other was Laxmi Parvati’s husband. The biopic, whatever its political or electoral intent, must have bridged the family’s emotional chasm for the moment. But there is one person who is aloof, distanced from all this sentimentality, anxious to know if the biopic will make the TDP a box office hit in the elections.
Explanation:
NTR and TDP or not two but one because:
● NTR established TDP party in the year 1983 in order to bring drastic change in the lifestyle of the poor and to dedicate his life towards social service.
● TDP party agenda same as ambitions of NTR and his zeal to serve people.
● So the people at that time felt that TDP and NTR are same but not two.
