‘Vetrimaaran sir, please do a Tamil film with me…’: Jr NTR urges director to make a movie with him at Devara event
Jr NTR was recently caught at a press meet event with team Devara where he urged director Vetrimaaran to make a Tamil movie with him.
Jr NTR, who is all set to bring forth his much-awaited movie Devara: Part 1, was recently spotted in Chennai attending a press meet. During the event, the actor was asked about the possibility of working in a Tamil movie, and that’s when he urged director Vetrimaaran to collaborate with him.
The RRR star called the director his favorite in Tamil cinema and said, “I’m gonna ask my favorite director…Vetrimaaran sir, please do one with me. Let’s do a straight Tamil movie and we can later dub it into Telugu.”
Interestingly, it’s worth noting that Vetrimaaran had once spoken about the possibility of working with Jr NTR. In a media interaction back in the day, the director revealed that he met the star after Asuran to discuss a project. However, he also mentioned that while the collaboration is bound to happen, it would take some time due to his existing commitments with other films.
Coming back to the Devara event, Jr NTR also expressed his love and gratitude for Chennai. The actor recalled how he trained in Kuchipudi in Chennai during his early days, and how the city holds a special place in his heart.
Jr NTR further praised Devara's director, Koratala Siva, and music director, Anirudh Ravichander, calling them the pillars of the movie. He also expressed his excitement as the movie inches closer to its release.
