New Delhi: Actor Saif Ali Khan started the shoot of his next film with NTR Jr and Janhvi Kapoor tentatively titled 'NTR 30' on Tuesday. 'NTR 30' is a highly anticipated Telugu-language action-drama film that will see Saif playing a pivotal role alongside NTR Jr. The film, helmed by Koratala Siva is billed to be a visual extravaganza with an exciting storyline.
In a conversation with IANS, Saif shared that the director of the film, Koratala Siva gave a three-hour narration to him for the film, which sees him serving as the antagonistic force.
Saif Ali Khan told IANS: "It's a very cool role and I'm working hard to make sure I deliver more than what is expected of me. My director Koratala Siva is a passionate artist with infectious energy and a great vision. He narrated to me for three hours and I was spellbound, emotionally involved all the way."
The Bollywood star also mentioned that NTR Jr "is very friendly, charming, and super-passionate." Saif admires the ambition of making a pan-India film and is hyped to start working on the "exciting plan" of NTR Jr. He said: "We are too used to thinking and working in terms of region and language."
On the technicians of the film, Saif told IANS: "The DOP is Rathnavelu who has shot amazing movies like Robot and it's great to be lit and shot like this. It's a fantastic vision and the movie's scale is very big. I take it as a great compliment that they are interested in my services. My pleasure entirely to be here. Fingers crossed this will be rocking!!"
‘NTR 30' went on the floor last month after a grand mahurat ceremony in Hyderabad. This film will also mark Janhvi Kapoor's debut in the Telugu industry.
Produced by Yuvasudha Arts and presented by Nandamuri Kalyan Ram under the banner of NTR Arts, the movie is scheduled to have a pan-India release on April 5, 2024.
