Jr NTR's 30th movie will hit the screens in 2023. It will be shot at a stretch from June this year. A mega set will be erected for the first schedule.

Who is the film's heroine? Is it Alia Bhatt? Or, has Rashmika Mandanna replaced her? The fact of the matter is out. Straight from the horse's mouth.

In his latest interview, director Koratala Siva has said that no decision has been taken. The name of the heroine will be finalized in due course of time. As of now, Siva is preoccupied with the promotions of 'Acharya', which is an April 29th release. As for Tarak, he is involved in spiritual sadhana after taking up Hanuman Deeksha recently.

The filmmaker said that discussions will be held after he takes a break, in May.

It is not clear if the director has played safe by saying that a decision hasn't been taken. There are murmurs about Alia Bhatt first giving her nod and then walking out of the project. Film people usually don't like to talk about all that in public. That's why they diplomatically say that nothing has been finalized.
