According to reports, the film is a pan-India action entertainer, with the backdrop of the India-Pakistan border. Reportedly, it is jointly produced by Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts and is expected to hit theatres next year.

Currently, Jr NTR is shooting for his upcoming film Devara, directed by Koratala Siva. Janhvi Kapoor plays the female protagonist in the film, while Saif Ali Khan plays the villain. Recently, there have been rumours that there would be another actress in the film, as the story also has a mythological touch. However, no official announcement has been made regarding that. Devara makers have locked Hyderabad, Goa and Visakhapatnam as the shooting locations of the film.

According to reports, Jr NTR is also expected to star in Hrithik Roshan’s War 2. It has been claimed that he will be playing the role of a villain in the film. The second part of the War franchise will be directed by Ayan Mukerji.
