Thanks to the success of movies like ‘Pushpa’, ‘RRR’ and others, Tollywood heroes and heroines established a market for themselves all over the nation. Samantha’s negative role in ‘Family Man’ web series brought her a lot of recognition and her special song in Bunny’s film gave her a lot of craze in the North. As we know, the entire country is waiting for ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ while NTR too got a huge applause for his performance in Rajamouli’s flick.
News is that the Bollywood makers are planning to rope the three of them for a huge pan-Indian project. It is going to be a mythological epic titled ‘Ashwatthama’. Aditya Dhar is going to direct it while Jio Studios will be bankrolling it. Till date, Ranveer Singh was supposed to play the lead role. He replaced Vicky Kaushal whose name was heard initially. But the ‘Cirkus’ hero is out of the picture and the makers are looking towards stars that can bring people into theatres across the country.
Reports suggest that either NTR or Allu Arjun will bag the lead role in the movie while Samantha is the frontrunner for the female lead character. As interesting as it sounds, we need to wait till the official report comes out from the movie’s unit.
In the meanwhile, Samantha is working on the Indian version of ‘Citadel’ while NTR is doing his 30th project. It is directed by Koratala Siva while Sukumar is directing Allu Arjun’s most-awaited ‘Pushpa 2’.
