Jr NTR, Atlee movie very much on?
Dismissing some reports in the media that superstar Jr NTRs film with Tamil director Atlee has been shelved, a source close to the young director in Chennai, claims that the film is very much on
Dismissing some reports in the media that superstar Jr NTR’s film with Tamil director Atlee has been shelved, a source close to the young director in Chennai, claims that the film is very much on. The director who made action films like ‘Mersal’ and ‘Theri’ is readying a script to suit the larger-than-life image of the scion of Nandamuri family. “Atlee met Jr NTR a couple of times and shared a few ideas and finally working on an interesting theme. He wants to arrive in T-town debut with a bang,” says a source, close to the director.
“From the beginning, Atlee’s film was supposed to start after Rajamouli’s magnum opus in mid-2019, so reports about the big-ticket film being shelved are false and baseless,” the source adds. In fact, unwilling to take a break, Atlee, who commenced shooting for his next big-budget extravaganza with his favourite star Vijay and the actor-director is on the verge of a hat-trick, the source points out.
On the other hand, Jr NTR is keen to work with a Tamil director for the first time in his illustrious career, as he mostly worked with top-notch Telugu directors like S S Rajamouli, Puri Jagannath, Gunasekhar, B Gopal and V V Vinayak earlier to attain superstardom. The much-awaited film will be bankrolled by veteran producer C Ashwini Dutt under the prestigious Vyjayanthi Movies banner.
