Jr NTR, Trivikram film shelved, Koratala Siva takes over

Speculations were rife that Jr NTR’s film with director Trivikram Srinivas has been shelved due to ego clashes. We hear, the actor-director duo who earlier worked for Aravindha Sametha Veera Raghava, were divided over the delay in the commencement of NTR 30 and have decided to part ways in the best interests of their careers. Now that Trivikram’s film is not happening, Jr NTR has given his nod to team up with Koratala Siva for a quickie.

“Koratala Siva has a script ready for Jr NTR and the movie will go on floors sometime in May or June. The film will be wrapped up in five months to ensure Sankranthi 2022 release. The duo spoke at length about the film recently and have decided to join forces again after Janatha Garage,” says a source.

Jr NTR’s film with Koratala Siva would be bankrolled by Sudhakar Mikkilineni of Yuvasudha Creations banner. Interestingly, Sudhakar and Koratala have a film with Allu Arjun in the pipeline and it is being said that the movie will go on floors soon after the director wraps up his next with NTR.

Meanwhile, Koratala Siva is directing Chiranjeevi in Acharya and Jr NTR is working for SS Rajamouli’s RRR. Both these films are slated for release in the second half of 2021.
