NTR Jr, filmmaker Vetrimaaran to collaborate for a film? Here's what we know

Vada Chennai director Vetrimaaran, who is currently busy promoting his upcoming film Viduthalai, recently talked about working with south star NTR Jr. The filmmaker, on April 12, said he would work with NTR Jr only if the project called for it and not because of his celebrity power. In a media interaction at one of the promotional events of Viduthalai, Vetrimaaran said “I met NTR Jr after Asuran (2019) and post the lockdown. We are in talks now, a film is bound to happen.”

He further clarified that the story would be something which actually requires NTR Jr as the actor and not just for his star value. “Collaboration will make sense to me and I will not collaborate just for the star value or the combination value. I will only collaborate for a content that will demand a star like him,” the director added. Vetrimaaran also revealed his wish to work with Allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu. He said he met both the actors to discuss some films but in the end it didn’t work out and he hopes to work with them soon.
