Director KS Ravi Kumar is busy wielding the megaphone for N Balakrishna starrer, tentatively titled Ruler. The crew is currently camped in Hyderabad where they are shooting a song sequence in an extensive set at Ramoji Film city. The untitled film has Vedhika, Sonal Chauhan and Bhumika as the female leads.
Initially, the makers were eyeing to release the movie during Sankranthi in 2020, but biggies like Rajinikanth's Darbar, Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru and Allu Arjun's Ala Vaikunthapuramlo have already confirmed their releases during the same time. According to sources, the makers are planning to release the movie in December this year during Christmas. But an official confirmation is awaited.
According to reports about the star cast, we hear that Bhumika Chawla has been roped in for an important role. One of the highlights of the film will be Balayya’s look. He will be appearing in a stylish look which has his fans excited.
The story for this movie is penned by Paruchuri Murali and it is said that Balayya will be playing dual roles in the film. We hear that while one will be that of a cop, the other will be that of a politician. The rest of the technical crew will be Chirantan Bhatt for music and Ram Prasad for cinematography. Ruler is being produced by C Kalyan under his banner Happy Movies.
Balakrishna is looking for a much-needed break as his last release was the biopic on his late father, the legendary actor and politician, NT Rama Rao, which did not do well at the box-office. It was released in two parts as – NTR Kathanayakudu and NTR Mahanayakudu – highlighting both his film and political career. The NTR biopic was helmed by J Krish and produced jointly N Balakrishna along with Vishnu Induri and Sai Korrapati.
