RRR star N.T. Rama Rao Jr. (aka NTR Jr) is set to work with Prashanth Neel, a leading director of the Kannada-language film industry, on an as-yet-untitled project that is scheduled to start shooting in March 2024.

The project will be NTR Jr’s 31st film following Devara, a Telugu-language film directed by Kortala Siva, which was formerly known as NTR 30 and officially given a title yesterday.

Devara is scheduled for a pan-India release on April 5, 2024.
