It has been believed that Jailer fame director Nelson Dilipkumar's Telugu-language debut will be headlined by Jr NTR. Sithara Entertainments' honcho, Naga Vamsi, today stated something that somewhat invalidates the assumption.
Naga Vamsi stated that the male lead of the project hasn't been finalized. He didn't take any hero's name on the occasion.
While his words can be seen as a denial of the rumour about Tarak fronting the pan-Indian movie, not much might be read into it. It is probable that the producer plans to reveal Jr NTR's name on an appropriate occasion. But had that been the case, the producer would have worded his reply differently. He would have said, "The hero's name will be revealed in the near future." That's the standard language used by filmmakers and producers. But since Naga Vamsi said that the hero is yet to be finalized, doubts about Jr NTR opting out of the project loom large.
