Jr NTR and SS Rajamouli
Tollywood star Jr NTR is once again joining hands with popular filmmaker SS Rajamouli for a special project. The duo, who earlier worked together on successful films like Student No.1, Simhadri, Yamadonga, and the global hit RRR, are set to collaborate on a new pan-India film titled Made In India.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, Jr NTR is likely to play the role of Dadasaheb Phalke, who is known as the Father of Indian Cinema. The film was officially announced in September 2023 and will be produced by Varun Gupta and SS Karthikeya. Although Rajamouli is not directing the movie, he is deeply involved in the scripting and creative process.
Made In India is expected to tell the inspiring story of Dadasaheb Phalke’s journey and his contribution to the birth of Indian cinema over 100 years ago. Jr NTR was reportedly very impressed with the story and agreed to take on this challenging and historic role.
This film is being planned on a large scale and aims to connect with audiences across India by being released in multiple languages. The official announcement about the director and full cast is expected soon.
At present, Jr NTR is also working on Dragon, a high-budget action film directed by Prashanth Neel, known for the KGF series. A key schedule of Dragon was recently completed in Karnataka, and the film is set to hit theatres on June 25, 2026.
Fans are excited to see Jr NTR in a completely new role as Dadasaheb Phalke. With SS Rajamouli’s involvement and a strong storyline, Made In India is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films in the coming years.
