All the top directors are busy with their respective heroes and these combinations are waiting to take off. The same is happening in Chennai as well. Be it AL Vijay, Atlee or any other director, their local heroes are already committed to doing other projects which is leading to interesting collaborations between the stars and directors of the two states. NTR, who is currently busy shooting for SS Rajamouli’s upcoming magnum opus RRR (Roudram Ranam Rudhiram), has reportedly taken a break to travel to Chennai to meet filmmaker Atlee. Last year, reports emerged that the Jr NTR will team up with Atlee for a new project.
Apparently, NTR met Atlee last week in Chennai for the story discussion of their upcoming project. If everything falls into place, the project will take off in the second half of 2021, after Jr NTR finishes his film with Trivikram Srinivas and Atlee wraps up his project with Shah Rukh Khan. An official announcement regarding the new project is awaited. However, sources close to Atlee have confirmed that a formal announcement will be made on the occasion of Sankranti festival next year. Meanwhile, Jr NTR will join back the sets of RRR next week to complete shooting for his portion. The team on Monday revealed that they’ve just wrapped up a long 50-day action sequence and will soon resume the next schedule immediately.
