In a major update that surprised Telugu cinema fans, Trivikram Srinivas chose Jr NTR to lead his much-hyped mythological film. This change marks a big shift from the original plan, where Allu Arjun was supposed to play the lead. The sudden switch has created a storm on social media, with fans of both actors sharing their opinions and excitement.
Sithara Entertainments is producing the project, which draws inspiration from Lord Subrahmanya Swamy. Earlier, reports strongly suggested that Trivikram would collaborate with Allu Arjun on this ambitious film.
Producer Naga Vamsi had promoted the story as a groundbreaking concept that explores untouched mythological themes. In several interviews, he highlighted the film’s rich cultural content and praised Trivikram’s unique storytelling.
Why Did Jr NTR Replace Allu Arjun?
The exact reason behind the casting change remains unclear. However, insiders reveal that Allu Arjun gave priority to his upcoming film with director Atlee, which led to scheduling delays. These delays reportedly forced Trivikram to rearrange his lineup.
At different points, Trivikram also discussed projects with Venkatesh and Ram Charan, but those collaborations didn’t move forward. As a result, Jr NTR entered the picture and took charge of this mythological venture.
Earlier in 2020, Trivikram had announced NTR30 with NTR, but the team later shelved it. Now, fans believe that this new mythological project revives that shelved idea. The revived partnership between Trivikram and NTR has thrilled fans who waited for them to work together again.
When Will Trivikram Start Filming with Jr NTR?
Jr NTR is currently focusing on a film with director Nelson Dilipkumar, which also belongs to Sithara Entertainments. The team will begin that film first. Once they wrap it up, NTR will start shooting for Trivikram’s mythological film.
NTR also plans to work on other major projects like Devara: Part 2 and a Dadasaheb Phalke biopic, so his schedule remains tightly packed. Still, sources confirm that Trivikram’s project has already secured a spot and will launch without further delay.
Fans Celebrate and React
The casting change disappointed Allu Arjun’s fans, especially after Sithara’s consistent promotion around him. On the flip side, NTR’s fans are celebrating this unexpected but welcome surprise. They believe this film will showcase NTR in a powerful new light. Trivikram has a solid reputation for combining strong scripts with mass appeal, and fans expect this collaboration to deliver something truly remarkable.
