Growing rumors suggest that Jr. ntr would work with either Nelson or Vetrimaaran on one of his upcoming movies, which has fans debating on social media who would be a better director for him. ntr has always loved Vetrimaaran, who is renowned for his socially conscious and challenging films; the actor himself brought up the subject during a recent press conference in Chennai. However, while Vetrimaaran is highly regarded, his films generally pander to the tamil population and dwell extensively on themes of tyranny. This could not be appealing to NTR's wider mass audience, especially in the telugu market.
Vetrimaaran's limited pan-Indian distribution has also sparked doubts about the partnership's potential at the box office. Supporters worry that a collaboration between the two may lead to a letdown such to that of Rajinikanth's movies kabali and Kaala, in which the audience's expectations for a Rajinikanth picture were not met by the director Pa Ranjith's approach. Nelson, who most recently helmed Jailer, appears to be a more viable option for ntr, though.
Nelson offers a mix of action, humor, and drama, and he has a track record of striking a balance between eccentric narrative and commercial aspects. His movies, like Jailer, are renowned for bringing out the best in stars, even with straightforward narratives, and for creating thrilling, action-packed scenes that thrill audiences. Nelson could be the safer and more financially feasible choice for NTR's next major project due to his widespread appeal and talent for producing mass entertainment. Although each filmmaker has advantages and disadvantages, Nelson could be a better fit for ntr in terms of box office performance.
