Speaking at the success event for the film Mad Square, Devara star Jr NTR indirectly confirmed his upcoming film with Nelson Dilipkumar. The project will be produced by Naga Vamsi and will feature a musical score by Anirudh Ravichander.

He said, “If I talk about Vamsi too much, maybe he'll get dishti (nazar). He has gotten used to good happening to him. We're about to do something soon. He will announce it soon when he can. The day we announce it, I'll let Vamsi deal with you.”

For the unversed, it was back in November 2024 when the first reports about Jr NTR and Nelson’s potential collaboration surfaced. According to Aakashavani, the filmmaker had pitched a few ideas to the actor, and one of them had been locked.

The report also claimed that two leading production houses were in contention to bankroll the project. However, an official announcement from Jr NTR and Nelson Dilipkumar regarding the collaboration was still awaited.
