After a lot of speculation, it was almost confirmed that Alia Bhatt would be the leading lady in NTR and director Koratala Siva’s upcoming film, which marks the actor’s 30th film. However, due to whatever seasons, Alia decided to walk out of the project, putting the team back in the place they were.
The team of NTR30 is now on the look for an actress who would cater to the South Indian and North Indian audiences as well. Since NTR30 is being planned to be made as a pan-Indian film, given NTR’s film RRR, the team is said to be looking for an actress with a pan-Indian appeal. However, seeing how films like Pushpa and KGF managed to become blockbusters despite a pan-Indian actress, the team is also said to be on the outlook for a Telugu actress as well.
On the other hand, there’s still no clarity over when the shooting of NTR30 would begin, as director Koratala is currently working on the script. NTR is said to have told the director to not worry about the result of Acharya and to simply concentrate on this film.
