Lakshmis NTR is the third biopic on movie-god NT Rama Rao to release in a span of just three months.

That is what made him a legend in the film industry and the first leader of a regional party that shook the might of the central government. Given the daring attitude of NTR, it is understandable why he stood by Lakshmi, in spite of growing murmurs within his party over his new relationship.
