Jr NTR Caught Between Anil Ravipudi And Trivikram
Jr NTR faces a choice between Anil Ravipudi’s comedy entertainer and Trivikram Srinivas’ ambitious mythological action drama, with fans wondering which project will get his dates first.
Jr NTR seems to have an interesting choice to make as two contrasting projects are lined up for him. While his proposed collaboration with Trivikram Srinivas for God of War has been the subject of much discussion, the actor’s announcement of a film with Anil Ravipudi has added a fresh twist to the buzz.
Interestingly, the two films offer completely different worlds for the actor. Anil is planning to present NTR in a more entertaining avatar, with the actor describing the film as a “laugh riot”. After a series of action-heavy outings, the prospect of seeing NTR in a full-fledged comedy entertainer has caught the attention of fans.
“Successful combinations naturally generate excitement. NTR announcing a film with Anil and describing it as a laugh riot suggests that he wants to experiment with comedy amidst his action-packed outings,” says director Hemanth Madhukar.
He feels Anil is in a particularly good phase of his career, having understood the pulse of family audiences and delivered consistent commercial successes.
“Anil is riding a new high in his career. He has consistently delivered commercial successes, and that makes this combination exciting,” he adds.
Trivikram, meanwhile, has an ambitious proposition in God of War. Reportedly conceived as a mythological action drama, the film could give NTR another larger-than-life role, raising expectations around the actor-filmmaker combination.
“Trivikram Srinivas has earned his stature through several successful films. One or two disappointments should not overshadow his achievements. A mythological action film revolving around Lord Muruga is an interesting proposition and is already generating considerable curiosity,” he says.
Whether NTR will choose to make audiences laugh first or take them into a grand mythological world is something only time will tell. “We will have to wait and see,” concludes Hemanth.
Highlight: NTR-Trivikram combination has considerable expectations attached to it, although questions have emerged about the project’s progress following the reported setback surrounding Aadarsha Kutumbam.
