Jr NTR is currently busy with the KS Ravindra directorial Jai Lava Kusa and this film is gearing up for release on September 21. With the release date set, the team is working hard to meet the deadline and its lead star is juggling between the Bigg Boss Telugu TV show that he is hosting and the Jai Lava Kusa sets.

Meanwhile, we hear through sources that the Jr NTR – Koratala Siva project, which was touted to be the star’s 28th film, has been put off for the time being.

Reports come in that Jr NTR is impressed with the storyline narrated by director Chandra Shekar Yeleti and he gave his go ahead immediately. Yeleti is now busy making preparations to take this project on the floors. And yes, Jr NTR – Koratala Siva project is very much on cards but it will be the star’s 29th film.

The star’s next release Jai Lava Kusa is a magnum opus produced by his home banner NTR Arts. Bankrolled by Jr NTR’s brother N Kalyan Ram, the film has him three roles. Raashi Khanna and Nivetha Thomas will be seen playing the heroines in Jai Lava Kusa and Bollywood actor Ronit Roy will be seen as the villain in this film. The soundtrack is composed by Devi Sri Prasad while Chota K Naidu has wielded the camera for it and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao has been signed up to edit it.

It may be noted that Trivikram Srinivas will be directing Jr NTR’s 27th film and there is no change in this plan as of now. Trivikram is currently busy directing Pawan Kalyan’s film, which hasn’t been titled yet and will be moving over to Jr NTR’s film
