While an official announcement is yet to be made, sources reveal that the duo is in final talks to work on a project together, and the buzz is that the agreement is almost finalised!

Production details

As per sources, KGF makers KVN Productions and the prestigious production house Sun Pictures, known for previously collaborating with Nelson Dilipkumar on Jailer, are in the race to bankroll the film. One of these production houses is likely to back the project.

Meanwhile, speculation about the film’s music composer has also gained traction. Sources suggest that Anirudh Ravichander, who composed the music for Jr NTR’s Devara, might be brought on board for this collaboration.

While social media is abuzz with excitement and speculation, fans eagerly wait for an official confirmation from the makers.

Jr NTR’s upcoming films

Jr NTR, who is fresh off the success of the blockbuster Devara, is currently busy shooting for the action-packed War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan. This film also marks his Bollywood debut. Additionally, the actor has a pan-India project with Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled NTR-Neel, in the pipeline. Furthermore, the production work on Devara’s sequel is already underway, with over 40% of principal photography completed.

Nelson Dilipkumar’s current ventures

On the other hand, director Nelson Dilipkumar, who recently turned producer, saw moderate success with his debut production venture Bloody Beggar. Despite positive reviews, the film was overshadowed by the massive box-office success of Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran among the Diwali releases.

Currently, Nelson is gearing up to begin production work for the much-awaited sequel to the Rajinikanth-starrer Jailer 2.
