Exclusive: Saif Ali Khan signs ‘NTR30’

We were the first to report that Saif Ali Khan was in talks to play the antagonist in Siva Koratala and NTR’s next movie (#NTR30). However, reports have surfaced recently suggesting that Saif Ali Khan declined the offer and bowed out of this project.

But sources close to this film inform us that that not only are these rumours untrue, but he has already put his signature on the project. The necessary agreements will be made shortly, and his name will be announced later this month.

Saif Ali Khan will play the film’s primary antagonist. This will mark Saif’s debut in a South Indian film. Prabhas’s ‘Adipurush,’ in which Saif plays the villainous Lankesh, is an original film in Hindi.

The coastal regions serve as a setting for the untitled film. NTR and Janhvi Kapoor play the lovers. The action of the story takes place on some remote Indian islands that have been forgotten by time.

For this massive undertaking, director Koratala Siva has enlisted the services of the finest Indian and Hollywood technicians. The film’s initial shooting schedule just wrapped up. The next one will begin later this month.

Music is being composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The producers are Sudhakar Mikkilineni and Harikrishna.
