NTR as Casanova

After Playing the roles of a romantic hero, action hero, and ideal son, Junior NTR is now set to project himself as a playboy.

The young Telugu actor will be seen as a Casanova, chasing girls in his next movie titled Rabasa. 

Santosh Srinivas, who directed the hit movie, Kandireega, will direct Rabasa. Bellamkonda Suresh, under the banner of Sri Sai Ganesh Productions, will produce the movie, which will go on floors later this year. Anoop Ruebens has already commenced composing music for the eagerly awaited project.

At present, Jr NTR is shooting Ramayya Vasthavaiyya, being directed by Harish Shankar. Nearly 75% of the shooting for the movie is completed. The songs for the movie will be shot abroad while the remaining portion of the talkie shooting will take place in Hyderabad.

In Ramayya Vasthavaiyya, a socio-fantasy movie, Jr NTR will sport his six-pack abs. A rom-com, the movie has two heroines – Shruti Haasan and Samantha Prabhu. Being produced on a huge budget of Rs 35 crore, Ramayya Vasthavaiyya is slated for release in September.

The shooting for Rabasa is expected to be complete in January. Apparently, the script of the movie closely resembles Kandireega 2, the sequel to Kandireega, which featured Ram Pothineni in the lead role. When Srinivas wrote the script for Kandireega 2, he had Ram in mind. However, when it became clear that Ram will not be part of Kandireega 2, Srinivas narrated the script to Jr NTR, who liked it.

However, as the superstar was not keen on titling the movie Kandireega 2 and being part of it, he suggested a few crucial changes in the plot. Accordingly, Srinivas revised the plot and named the movie Rabasa. In the process, Srinivas has also retained the original story of Kandireega 2, in case he plans to direct it someday as asequel. It will be interesting to see Jr NTR in contrasting characters in back-to-back movies.
