worng again... K.V. reDDi wanted ANR, but chakrapANi and nAgireDDi had NTR in mind (who came into contract with vijaya). Following is the excerpt posted in hindu in regards to pAtALa bhairavi: "Pathalabhairavi created history by being the first Telugu film to have a direct silver jubilee and a 200-day run. When Vijaya’s maiden production, Shavukaru won critical acclaim but did not earn the expected profits, Nagi Reddi- Chakrapani duo signed K.V. Reddy in 1950 to direct a folklore. Pingali Nagendra Rao came up with a story inspired by the popular ‘Aladdin and the magic lamp.’ KV and Kamalakara Kameswara Rao wrote the screenplay. Interestingly, NTR was not the first choice for the hero’s role. While KV had ANR in mind, the producers suggested NTR, who was under a four-film contract with Vijaya. At that time, both ANR and NTR were acting in Samsaram, and, during the break, were playing tennis. When he missed hitting the ball a couple of times, the determined NTR held the racquet with both hands and smashed the ball which fell outside the compound. KV, who was watching this, immediately felt here was his folk hero." rAmu(Du) manci bAluDu  cinnappaTinuncI intE
