After Janhvi Kapoor, it appears that another Bollywood A-lister will join Jr NTR in Koratala Siva’s upcoming #NTR30. We have learnt that talks are underway to cast Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist in the film. With an impressive track record in portraying complex characters on screen, Saif is seen as the perfect fit, informs a source close to the director.

“Koratala Siva wanted to cast an actor with an imposing screen presence as it is a menacing character. Saif seemed like a great fit for it. If everything goes to plan, an official announcement will be made soon,” the source tells us.

However, when approached, a representative of the film’s team remained tight-lipped saying, “We can’t confirm or deny this right now. ”

“Vikram and Vijay Sethupathi were also considered for the role, but Saif seemed like a better fit. A huge set is currently being erected because shooting of film is also set to commence soon,” adds the source.

Saif recently expressed his admiration for his potential co-star’s dancing skills, particularly in the song Naatu Naatu, stating, “The South has these incredible dance steps and half-beats that they work with, I think I would have a heart attack if I did that.”
