It was announced even before the release of RRR that NTR would be teaming up with director Koratala Siva for his 30th film, instead of with Trivikram Srinivas, as announced before. A pre-teaser was also released for NTR’s birthday this year, with regards to his film with Koratala Siva. Ever since then, it was being said that the film would start very soon, but it didn’t happen until now.
Following the release of Acharya, Koratala faced some financial hurdles, due to which the project got delayed. Post that, the director kept working on the script, fine tuning it. He is now said to be ready with the final draft of the script, which he is expected to narrate to NTR once the actor is back in Hyderabad. NTR is currently in Japan, promoting RRR in Japan, as the film has been released there.
If Koratala manages to impress NTR with the final narration, then the launch date for the movie will be decided by the actor and the director. If everything goes well, then the regular shooting of the film is expected to take place from December. This most certainly is a very crucial moment for director Koratala Siva, as he needs to bounce back very strong after Acharya.
