Overview
- Reports, published Thursday, said the sequel is on hold while Jr NTR waits for a final script draft.
- Producer Lagadapati Sridhar linked the pause to changing tastes, saying period-style spectacles feel dated and audiences now want relatable, realistic plots.
- Sridhar said the first film made money but its old-school style muted Jr NTR’s larger-than-life image.
- No official word has come from the actor or the makers, so the status remains based on media reports and Sridhar’s comments.
- Industry talk praised the caution, with Sridhar urging stronger scripts and new collaborators to grow Jr NTR’s reach across markets and sustain his family’s legacy.
