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.
NTR 31 still only has a working title, but the producers released the news today to mark NTR Jr’s birthday and said the film “is expected to set new benchmarks in the Indian film industry.”
“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the careers of both NTR Jr. and Prashanth Neel, as they combine their creative genius to create a cinematic experience like never before,” the statement said. “As the film gears up for production, fans eagerly await the unveiling of more details, including the star-studded cast, the intriguing storyline, and the captivating visuals that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on cinema lovers.”
Prashanth Neel directed Kannada-lanuage blockbusters KGF: Chapter 1 and KGF: Chapter 2, with the latter film becoming the highest-grossing release at the Indian box office last year, with a haul of $117.13M (Rs9.7BN), outpacing even RRR.
Neel has also directed a Telugu-language feature, Salaar, starring Prabhas, which is scheduled for a wide pan-India release this September.

Brent Lang Executive Editor The return of John Wick, its popular hit man franchise, helped lift quarterly earnings at Lionsgate, enabling the company to best expectations. For the three-month period ending on March 31, revenues at Lionsgate increased 16.7% to $1.1 billion. The company also reported an operating loss of $49.6 million, which was slightly better than the $50.4 million in losses it logged in the year-ago period. There was also a net loss attributable to Lionsgate shareholders of $96.8 million or 42 cents net loss per share. Adjusted net income attributable to Lionsgate shareholders in the quarter was $49.2 million or 21 cents in adjusted earnings per share. Lionsgate’s film business did much of the heavy lifting. The studio segment reported revenue of $823.6 million, an increase of 25% from the prior-year quarter, with the movie portion of that haul increasing by 85%. That was due to the success of “John Wick: Chapter 4,” a blockbuster sequel starring Keanu Reeves as the titular avenger, as well as the release of two modest hits in the faith-based drama “Jesus Revolution” and the Gerard Butler action-thriller “Plane.” It also helped off-set declines in Lionsgate’s television business, which the company said was the result of “timing” of when its shows are licensed or hit the airwaves.
