Speculations are rife that Vetrimaaran is planning to team up with Telugu star Jr NTR. There have been talks about the two working together for a long time, and it is reported that Jr NTR has finally given his nod.

It is said that Vetrimaaran, who is known for his raw and hard-hitting films, has been highly impressed by Jr NTR's portrayal of the earthy character Bheem in RRR.

Jr NTR, meanwhile, has signed a film each with directors Kortala Siva and Prashanth Neel. The Kortala Siva film, tentatively titled NTR 30, will be the actor's next to gon floors.

Vetrimaaran, on the other hand, has Viduthalai gearing up for release. The film starring Vijay Sethupathi and Soori is adapted from Jeyamohan's short story Thunaivan. The director is also simultaneously working on the pre-production of Vaadivaasal, which marks his first time collaboration with Suriya.
