Director Prashanth Neel, who revolutionized commercial cinema in recent years with massive hits like KGF and Salaar, is now teaming up with Man of the Masses NTR for one of the most awaited pan-Indian films. Though the film’s official title is yet to be revealed, fans and media have already crowned it #NTRNeel, reflecting the enormous hype surrounding the project.

As the much-anticipated film gears up to resume shooting after a lengthy break, strong reports suggest that Neel is planning to bring several high-profile actors on board for crucial roles. Adding fuel to the buzz, Malayalam star Tovino Thomas has now sparked speculation with a curious response.

During a brief exclusive interaction with manatelugu at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, when asked about his involvement in the NTR–Neel project, the Identity actor replied,
“Right now, I am not in a position to comment about it.”
This diplomatic answer—neither confirmation nor denial—has intensified rumours that Tovino may indeed be part of the action-packed saga.

Meanwhile, additional reports suggest that Bollywood veteran Anil Kapoor has also been approached for a significant role. However, the makers have not yet officially confirmed any of the supporting cast.

On the female lead front, Kannada beauty Rukmini Vasanth is strongly believed to be finalized opposite NTR, though an official announcement is still awaited.

With such exciting names being speculated, expectations on the NTR–Neel combination continue to soar, and fans are eagerly looking forward to the next major update from the team.
