At the same time, Jr NTR is occupied filming a high-energy action movie with director Prashanth Neel. The movie, which will release in theatres next year, is being marketed as a high-octane action extravaganza. Sources say NTR will be portraying a rough and raw new avatar that fans have not seen before and will be one of his most anticipated acts.
Even before War 2 or the Prashanth Neel project release, the buzz has already shifted to NTR’s next big venture. As revealed by renowned producer S. Naga Vamsi, NTR will once again join hands with director Trivikram Srinivas for a unique mythological-action drama. The story is known to be inspired from Lord Subrahmanya Swamy’s story. Recently, fans spotted Jr NTR at the airport carrying a book, which added more fuel to the fire, and indirectly confirmed the spiritual background of the film.
What’s giving this new project the extra oomph is the buzz in Tollywood at present — Rana Daggubati is said to be under consideration to play the villain. Producer Naga Vamsi is to be discussing this with the Baahubali star, thinking that his commanding screen presence and penchant for playing intense roles would make him an ideal on-screen opponent for Jr NTR. If this casting is realized, it would potentially tee up a compelling conflict between two of the industry’s most dominant actors.
With this strong line up – War 2, a rugged action drama with Prashanth Neel, and a potentially divine and dynamic project with Trivikram – Jr NTR is clearly at the top of his game. His upcoming projects are shaping up to redefine action and drama in Telugu cinema, promising fans a power-packed cinematic experience in the years to come.
