With the extraordinary
success of RRR,
ntr is one celebrity whose films are now eagerly anticipated not only in the
telugu states but throughout
india as a whole. There are huge hopes for NTR30, his upcoming
movie under
koratala Siva's direction, which will soon begin filming. There are rumours that
ali KHAN' target='_blank' title='saif
ali khan-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>saif
ali khan has joined the cast to play the movie's primary antagonist, though this hasn't been officially verified.
Saif has advanced significantly over the past three decades, starting off as a chocolaty
hero in the 1990s. He is currently regarded as one of
indian cinema's most adaptable protagonists, capable of playing any part with ease. Yet his portrayal of the villainous Langda Tyagi in Omkara was his most gripping performance. The
raw rage of
ntr can be the ideal counterbalance to a menacing villain in the character of Saif
ali Khan. It would be exciting to
watch two titans go up against one another.
But there is a problem. In
telugu movies, North
indian actors haven't proven to be particularly effective as villains. In Mahesh Babu's Sainikudu, even a famous actor like
irrfan khan delivered a laughably bad performance. Also criticised for his performance in
vinaya vidheya rama was
vivek Oberoi. In movies like
shakti and Saaho,
jackie shroff produced some horrible performances as the bad guy. Even a seasoned performer like
nawazuddin siddiqui in the
movie petta opposite Rajinikanth came off as a cardboard villain.
The reception to Saif
ali Khan's role as Raavan in Prabhas' Adipurush hasn't been positive. Yet, the criticism is mainly directed at the appearance and visual effects than at Saif
ali Khan. Thus, everything hinges on how
koratala siva envisions Saif
ali Khan's persona. You may be sure that Saif will give a standout performance if he can create a strong villain character. NTR30, which will be produced by
sudhakar Mikkilineni and Harikrishna and be released in
april 2024, has cast
janhvi kapoor to portray the female lead.
