Young Tiger Jr NTR is famous for taking courageous and well-thought-out film decisions. From mass entertainers to off-beat scripts, he always adds something new to the screen. Now, everyone is waiting to see what his next venture with top director Trivikram Srinivas will be, which is said to be a mythological outing — a space NTR has not yet explored completely.
Fueling all these rumors, NTR was recently seen at the Mumbai airport carrying a book named Muruga: The Lord of War, authored by Anand Balasubramaniam. The book explores in detail the mythology, philosophy, and warrior-like qualities of Lord Murugan, alternatively called Subrahmanya Swamy. This sight has gone viral, generating huge interest among the fans and industry circles regarding his next probable character.
Even though the producer Naga Vamsi has officially announced the project, official word about the shoot is yet to be obtained. However, the fact that NTR has been seen with the book has become a strong indication that the actor has indeed started preparations for the role already. Even while balancing high-profile films such as War 2 and Dragon, NTR appears quite dedicated to preparing himself for what would be one of the most unconventional roles in his career.
Trade sources indicate that the movie is likely to be made on a large scale, and there’s speculation that NTR might be cast as a mythological warrior — something his fans are looking forward to. If the plot does revolve around Lord Murugan, it will also be a strong and defining role for the actor to play, giving his on-screen persona a new direction, divine in nature.
Currently, the movie is in the pre-production stage. After locking the script, the team is likely to announce officially the title, cast, and crew. With Trivikram’s expertise in infusing tradition with mass marketability and NTR’s authoritative screen presence, this movie is turning out to be one of the most eagerly awaited mythological dramas in Indian cinema.
The big question is — can this new venture set new benchmarks for both NTR and Trivikram? If early signs are anything to go by, fans are in for something truly epic.
