Is Bobby the lucky one?

A last-minute entrant, the ‘Power’ helmer, it appears, has bagged the opportunity to direct NTR next

Seems like NTR, who had a rather tough time picking director for his next, has finally found one in the form of Bobby aka KS Ravindra. Apparently it is said that the writer-director got the actor’s nod with his storyline and has even taken advance amount from NTR Arts, which is set to produce the project.

A source says, “Although he listened to the ideas of Anil Ravipudi, Chandoo Mondeti and Vakkantham Vamsi, NTR took a strong fancy to Bobby’s actioner idea. He felt that it would be the best bet moving forward, especially after the phenomenal success of ‘Janatha Garage’. The director has been asked to flesh the script out and the project is likely to go on to floors next year.”

To rewind a bit, Bobby’s career was going nowhere as his summer release ‘Sardaar Gabbar Singh’ tanked at the box-office and his subsequent plan of directing Ravi Teja failing to materialise. Guess luck was with him this time around!
