The massive success of the Kannada film KGF: Chapter 1 has ensured that its director Prashanth Neel bags some of the best offers in other film industries. According to sources in the know, the director has been approached by the top production house in Tollywood, Mythri Movie Makers to make a film with Jr NTR in the lead.
