Nag may be cast as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,September 26 2012]

Buoyed by the commercial success of Shirdi Sai, producer Maheshwara Reddy intends to make a film on the life and gospel of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, if everything goes well. Guess who he wants to cast in the role of the Avatar? Akkineni Nagarjuna, again!

Though it does seem a distant dream, considering the fact that a script, much less a director, has yet to be commissioned, it is an early indication of what Nag's next spiritual movie is going to be. Since Reddy has registered victory with his very first film, he is very likely to be pro-active about the idea.

The question is, who may direct the movie? Will it be K Raghavendra Rao or Kodi Ramakrishna?
