Jr NTR is reuniting with Koratala Siva for NTR 30 after Janatha Garage. Apart from Rajamouli, KGF director Prashanth Neel also attended the event as one of the main guests. Pictures and videos from the launch ceremony have surfaced on social media. In one of the videos, Jr NTR can be seen welcoming Janhvi for the launch as he shook hands with her. Janhvi draped a light green saree and a matching blouse.

In another video, both Jr NTR and Janhvi can be seen joining Rajamouli on stage as he claps the first shot and announces the commencement of the shoot. Speaking at the launch ceremony, director Koratala Siva said, “The film is set in a forgotten coastal land of India. It’s a very emotional story about how we live in a world that has more monsters than humans.”

Ever since the project was officially announced, fans have taken over social media demanding updates on the film. Recently, Jr NTR requested fans to not keep asking for updates all the time as it puts a lot of pressure on many people. Speaking at the pre-release event of his brother Kalyan Ram’s film Amigos, NTR requested his fans to not keep demanding updates.

“Sometimes, when we’re working on a film, there isn’t much information to share. We can’t keep sharing updates on a daily or hourly basis. As much as I understand your excitement and the urge, sometimes all of this leads to a lot of pressure on the producer as well as the filmmaker. Due to the pressure, sometimes we end up sharing an update that doesn’t have much value which upsets the fans even more,” he said.

NTR further added that a lot of actors face a similar kind of pressure and that’s not healthy. “If there’s an update, we will share it with the fans first even before we share it with our wife at home. This is only because we understand how important you are all. Only if there’s an update worth sharing, we will share it first with you all,” he added.
