NTR goes for a makeover

After his last two releases- ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’ and ‘Rabhasa’ – failed to stamp his authority at the box-office, NTR, it is understood, is keen to do films that appeal to both mass and class audience at the same time . In this regard he has green-lit critically acclaimed director Krish’s next

Looks like NTR has finally realised that it’s time he goes for a complete makeover in order to revive his career. After his latest, ‘Rabhasa', took a serious drubbing at the box office, the actor, we hear, has gone back to the drawing board and is treading a cautious path when it comes to plan his next step. While we’ve learnt that he has asked his friends Vamsi Paidipally and Vakkantam Vamsi to wait for a certain period before they think of directing him, he has green-lit his next. This project will be directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, who has made sensible films like ‘Vedam’ and ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ in the past. To go on floors once NTR wraps up his assignments with Puri Jagannadh and Sukumar, the project, in all likelihood, will be produced by Aswini Dutt, who introduced NTR to the big screen with ‘Student No 1’.

When we got in touch with Krish for a confirmation on the story, we received no response from him till the time of going to print. It remains to be seen whether the film’s subject is the same that he has narrated to Mahesh Babu, who after lot of dillydallying kept the film on hold, paving way for Krish to make ‘Gabbar’, a remake of Tamil hit ‘Ramana’, with Akshay Kumar!
