Earlier,
it
was
widely
reported
that
RRR
beauty
Alia
Bhatt
will
be
pairing
with
Jr
NTR
for
NTR30,
his
immediate
next
project
after
RRR.
It
was
even
said
that
Alia
is
impressed
with
the
script
penned
by
Koratala
Siva,
the
director
of
NTR30.
But
the
latest
developments
imply
that
Alia
Bhatt
is
no
longer
a
part
of
NTR30
and
the
makers
have
initiated
talks
with
Rashmika
Mandanna
for
the
female
lead
role
in
the
film.
Rashmika
Mandanna
has
been
in
fine
form
of
late
and
she
has
lined
up
biggies
like
Pushpa
2,
Thalapathy66,
and
others
which
are
in
various
stages
of
production.
If
Alia
Bhatt
really
has
opted
out
of
NTR30,
Rashmika
would
be
more
than
a
fitting
choice
for
the
leading
lady
role
in
NTR30.
But
the
authenticity
of
these
developments
is
very
weak,
given
that
the
makers
are
yet
to
comment
on
the
same.
Rashmika
had
never
shared
the
screen
with
Jr
NTR
till
now
and
if
the
duo
really
does
come
onboard
for
NTR30,
it
would
be
a
refreshing
experience
for
NTR's
fans
and
commoners
alike.
NTR30
is
billed
to
be
an
action
drama
with
a
relevant
social
message.
The
film
is
directed
by
Koratala
Siva
and
NTR
plays
the
central
role
in
the
same.
This
film
is
expected
to
hit
the
floors
this
June
and
the
makers
are
likely
to
finalize
the
principle
cast
and
crew
by
then.
