The next film from RRR star N.T. Rama Rao Jr., (a.k.a. NTR Jr.), is scheduled to start shooting in February for worldwide release on April 5, 2024.

NTR30 is produced by Hari Krishna K and Sudhakar Mikkilineni under the banners NTR Arts and Yuvasudha Arts, respectively. Crew also includes Ratnavelu as cinematographer, Sabu Cyril as production designer and Sreekar Prasad as editor.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film has the tag line: “When courage turns into a disease, fear is the only cure”.
NTR Jr. played the role of freedom fighter Komaram Bheem in RRR, starring opposite fellow Telugu superstar Ram Charan Teja, and with Bollywood stars Ajay Devgn and Alia Batt also in the cast.
He is also reportedly working with Prashanth Neel, a director in the Kannada and Telugu film industries, on a project entitled NTR31. Neel directed Kannada blockbusters K.G.F. Chapter 1 (2018) and K.G.F. Chapter 2 (2022) and recently wrapped a Telugu-language film entitled Salaar, starring Prabhas.
Other big upcoming Telugu films expected this year include Meher Ramesh’s Bholaa Shankar, starring Chiranjeevi; Om Raut’s Adipurush, starring Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan, and a sequel to 2021 hit Pushpa: The Rise.
NTR Jr’s RRR co-star Ram Charan Teja will next be seen in a political thriller known as RC15, directed by leading Tamil filmmaker S. Shankar (Enthiran), and is currently shooting a film known an RC16, directed by Buchi Babu Sana.

“Nothing Is Impossible”: ‘RRR’ Director S.S. Rajamouli Talks About His Spectacular Action Epic And Reveals That The Ecstatic U.S. Reception Has Inspired A Sequel
Seeing is disbelieving when it comes to RRR, an Indian blockbuster set during the rule of the British Raj. Starring Telegu icons Ram Charan and N.T. Rama Rao Jr. (N.T.R.), it’s a lavish adventure based loosely — very loosely — on two legendary Indian freedom fighters of the early 20th century, Alluri Sitarama Raju (Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N.T.R). Whether these two ever did drive motorcycles through exploding trains, fight with lions and tigers and bears, and challenge Delhi’s high society to a dance battle is a moot point, but the magic of S.S. Rajamouli’s delirious, incendiary epic — those three Rs stand for Rise, Roar, Revolt — is that it piles on the spectacle without ever losing its sense of fun.
