Vijay Mallya in Trouble

Nandamuri Balakrishna is reportedly in talks with a few promising directors for his next projects, and Koratala Siva is said to be one of them. The director has apparently impressed Balakrishna with a strong storyline, and discussions are progressing in a positive direction.

Buzz in industry circles suggests that the duo may soon set up an office to begin pre-production work. While this development has generated excitement, it has also left fans of N. T. Rama Rao Jr. a bit concerned.

NTR had earlier teamed up with Koratala Siva for Devara, which was announced as a two-part film. However, there is still no clear update on when the second installment will go on floors. Fans have been eagerly waiting, but the actor’s packed schedule appears to be causing delays.

Reports indicate that NTR is currently prioritizing his project with Prashanth Neel, tentatively titled Dragon, which is also planned as a two-part film. With the scale and timeline of that project expanding, it is demanding a significant portion of his time.

Adding to this, NTR is said to be maintaining a specific look for Neel’s film, making it challenging to switch appearances for Devara 2 at the moment. Sources suggest he may only be available in the latter half of next year.

Meanwhile, Koratala Siva appears confident about collaborating with Balakrishna, and the actor too seems convinced about the project’s potential. While these developments may disappoint some NTR fans, the situation is largely due to scheduling constraints, and things are expected to move forward once timelines align.
