Rumours have been there that Nagarjuna is making a biopic on his father and that he will also be bankrolling it. Reacting to the speculations, Nagarjuna said that neither he nor his family has any of such ideas of making a biopic on their father. "We are even scared to remake any of his classic films. So making a biopic is completely out of question. Neither I, nor any of my family members have any such plans." 


Nagarjuna, at present, is busy enjoying his break from the films. The actor will soon start shooting 'Manmadhudu 2', a sequel of the first installment with the same title. 


The sequel will be directed by Rahul Ravindran. He will also be part of 'Bangaraju', a prequel for 'Soggade Chinni Naayana'.
