Jr NTR followed up epic RRR with a decent box office winner in the form of Devara. Though the early reception for Devara on OTT has largely been a mixed one, it is making some sort of noise nevertheless which is what Netflix would be wanting in the first place.

Coming to the topic now, NTR appears to have taken a peculiar route after RRR, and here is a look into the same.

NTR worked with Telugu director Koratala Siva for Devara, his immediate next film after RRR, and kept a safe launch pad with the same. He then picked Bollywood's War 2 with Ayan Mukerjee which is an unconventional choice in many ways for a mainstream Telugu star.

Then, we have NTR-Neel with Prashanth Neel, a Kannada filmmaker. This project has been in the discussion for a really long time now and it has finally seen daylight now.

Lastly, there is a new project in discussion and it has something to do with NTR and Nelson which is yet to be publicized. If this project really does happen, it would mean that Tarak is working with a Tamil filmmaker.

Big Scale Films? Leave That To Tollywood?

If we observe the trends, Tarak worked with a Telugu director, working with Hindi and Kannada directors, and is likely to work with a Tamil director in due course. Of all the options barring Koratala, Neel is the only seemingly sureshot director and more of a household name for the Telugu folk.

As it appears, Tarak is looking to diversify his portfolio by working with other language directors and thus touching other language audiences. But with this comes the risk of moving from the sensibilities of Telugu folk, which he appears to be ready to take.
