Director Koratala Siva speaks about his collaborating with NTR Jr for the second time

The year 2016 saw the release of ‘Janatha Garage’, which was directed by film maker Koratala Siva. The film not just went onto become one of the blockbusters of that year, but also became the third biggest grosser of Telugu cinema. The film starred Mohanlal, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Nithya Menen, and Samantha. Speaking of Koratala Siva and NTR Jr, the hit director-actor pairing is all set to create their magic again. This time with the film that has been titled ‘NTR 30’, a film starring NTR Jr alongwith Jhanvi Kapoor in the female lead.

During the muhurat pooja of the film in Hyderabad, Koratala Siva promised his fans that NTR 30 will be his biggest and best film. Speaking about the film, Koratala Siva said, “I feel fortunate to work with my brother and one of the best actors of our generation for the second time. The film's backdrop is centred around the far and forgotten coastal lands of India. The people, or rather the villains, in the film neither fear death nor god and there is no sense of humanity among them. The film is a very emotional story that emphasizes the role fear plays in having a moral and humane society. I promise everyone that #NTR30 is going to be my biggest and best film”

Speaking further on the film, the ace director said, “To pull off a big film and a big idea, you need a great army. I am fortunate to have all these great men here. My brother Anirudh, the man of sound, gave life to the film. After narrating the film to him, he said that I wrote the film with a fiery passion. I felt great joy after hearing that. The legendary Sreekar Prasad Garu traveled with me and stood by me right from day one. Thank you Randy sir for traveling with me for one year on this project before the film even started. No one can do justice to my film apart from Sabu sir. Thank you, my friend, Yugandhar. A lot of VFX has been used in the film; hopefully, we will have a great journey.”

‘NTR 30’, which is being produced by Hari Krishna K of NTR Arts and Sudhakar Mikkilineni of Yuvasudha Arts, is being readied to be released on April 5 2024.
