Varma plans to feature the Naidu-lookalike in his proposed film on legendary actor-politician N.T. Rama Rao. The film is said to focus on NTR's second wife Lakshmi Parvathi.
Chandrababu Naidu had led a revolt to unseat his father-in-law and TDP NTR as the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh in 1995, citing the growing interference of Lakshmi Parvathi in party and government affairs.
RGV on Saturday tweeted that the first person who gives the right clue would be rewarded Rs 1 rupees.
