Vetrimaaran confirms working with Jr NTR for upcoming film: ‘Won’t collaborate with him for star value’. Watch
Vetrimaaran will collaborate with jr ntr for an upcoming film. he spoke in hyderabad during the promotion of the telugu dubbed version of viduthalai: part 1..
Filmmaker Vetrimaaran , who has so far collaborated with Dhanush on multiple occasions, has confirmed that he will join hands with Jr NTR for a yet-untitled upcoming project. He also said that he won’t collaborate with Jr NTR for the star value but for the suitable content that would require him. (Also Read | Jr NTR's team clarifies he is not working with Dhanush in Vetrimaaran’s film; calls such reports 'absolutely false' )
Vetrimaaran, who was in Hyderabad on Tuesday to promote the Telugu dubbed version release of his latest Tamil film Viduthalai: Part 1, interacted with the media. As part of the interaction, he was asked about the rumours about working with Jr NTR .
“Collaboration will make sense to me and I will not collaborate just for the star value or the combination value. I will only collaborate for a content that will demand a star like him. So that much I can say,” Vetrimaaran said.
Several fans reacted to the video and shared their excitement over the collaboration. A person wrote, “This will be an epic collaboration. Two powerhouses coming together (sic).” Another Fan said, “Can’t wait for this project to take off (sic).”
As part of the same interaction, Vetrimaaran confirmed that he met and pitched a story idea to Jr NTR. He also added that their project will take time to take off as both of them are currently occupied with their respective assignments. Last year, reports emerged for the first time that Vetrimaaran had met Jr NTR to pitch a story idea.
Jr NTR is currently busy with the shoot of his next yet-untitled Telugu film with director Koratala Siva. Dubbed NTR 30, the project marks the Telugu debut of Janhvi Kapoor. The film will release later this year. NTR 30 was officially launched with a pooja ceremony last month.
Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who presided over as the special guest for the program, clapped the first shot and commenced the shooting. Vetrimaaran, on the other hand, is expected to commence work on his next film Vaadivasal, which will star Suriya.

Viduthalai star Soori’s next film with Vetrimaaran titled Garudan; features in a rugged look
The first glimpse of Soori’s next film Garudan offers a rugged action drama.
What is Garudan about?
More about garudan.
- Soori’s upcoming projects:
Ever since the release of Viduthalai: Part 1, a new actor has been discovered in Soori Muthuchamy. The actor, who has always been identified with his over-the-top comedic roles breathed fresh air into the character of constable Kumarasen.
And now, Soori’s next film has been officially announced, with a title reveal and a glimpse into the world of the film. The film has been titled Garudan and features Soori in a rugged and rustic look. The film also features prominent actors Unni Mukundan and Sasi Kumar, in what seem to be important roles. And perhaps the most exciting aspect of the film is that the story has been penned by Viduthalai director Vetrimaaran.

The actor will also feature in a film titled Badava, directed by Nandha KV and produced by John Peter. The film stars Soori and Vimal in the lead roles. But perhaps the most exciting project in Soori’s lineup is Kottukkaali, directed by PS Vinothraj and produced by actor Sivakarthikeyan. The film is scheduled to have a world premiere at the 74th International Berlin Film Festival and also stars Anna Ben in the lead role.

About his existing commitments, Vetri Maaran said, “I’m currently working on a film starring Soori as the protagonist and featuring Vijay Sethupathi in an important role. After this, I’ll be directing a film for Elred Kumar’s production house, RS Infotainment. Once I’m done with that, I’ll start working on Suriya’s Vaadivaasal, produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu.” In the interview, the filmmaker added that he will be collaborating with actor Vijay after he completes his current projects.

Ajith Kumar, fondly called Thala Ajith by his fans is busy with his upcoming film titled Vidaa Muyarchi, under the direction of Magizh Thirumeni. Trisha is the film's leading lady, marking her sixth collaboration with the star actor after Yennai Arindhaal.
Meanwhile, there is a new and interesting buzz about Ajith's upcoming films including AK 63 and AK 64. While it was already mentioned that Tollywood's star film producers Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers are joining hands with the actor, the latest buzz is that Ajith will sign a project with Vetrimaaran, the impeccable director.
AK 64 By Vetrimaaran? The new gossip around AK 64 is that producer-writer-director Vetrimaaran will collaborate with Ajith Kumar for the first time with a unique script. This could be the one that will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
In the wake of this news, fans have started reacting to the update. While one wrote, "Marana Combo AK ku puccava set agura director Vetrimaran.,' the other one wrote, 'Made for each other when it comes to delaying a project, (sic)." Another fan commented asking for an update on Vida Muyarchi saying, "Ellam directors name um varuthu edha namburanu theriyala1st #VidaaMuyarchi update eh viduga da, (sic)." Check out the tweet below.
Vidaa Muyarchi is being funded by Lyca Productions by Subaskaran Allirajah, and Anirudh Ravichander is the film's music composer. Ajith will be playing a dual role in the film. Regina Cassandra is the second female lead in this film which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Aarav Nafeez.
In addition, Ajith is also rumoured to have signed a film with Mark Antony director Adhik Ravichandran, referred to as AK 63. Adhik is Ajith's fan and had also acted in a negative shade character in 'Nerkonda Paarvai.' This project will likely be bankrolled by Elred Kumar. The official announcement is awaited.

Upcoming Anderson festivals, food trucks, fundraisers to celebrate spring. What to know.
The spring season is officially here, and the City of Anderson has planned various events.
"We love giving back to the community we serve. These events help bring the community together," said Anderson Community Events Manager Caroline Gaddis. "These events serve as an opportunity for residents to explore new local shops and see what the downtown neighborhood has to offer."
Downtown Anderson is thriving with new restaurants and businesses.
"The city of Anderson has done a great job revamping the downtown area with all the new local businesses," said Lori Graham, VP of Fund Development for the Junior League of Anderson County. "The downtown area has changed a lot since I was young. It's more convenient to shop at local stores now instead of driving to Greenville, and I love it."
Downtown Soiree Festival
There will be a Soiree Festival downtown from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 26 and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 27. The festival will feature live music, food trucks, and local vendors.
Residents will be able to enjoy live performances across multiple stages, explore and purchase original handcrafted works from talented artists, and savor delicious dishes crafted by some of Anderson’s finest chefs, Gaddis said.
South Carolina country music star Josh Turner will headline a concert at 7 p.m. on April 26.
Turner is best known for his deep voice and soulful sounds. Some of his most popular hits include “ Long Black Train ,” “ Why Don’t We Just Dance ,” and “ Would You Go With Me ?"
Four stages will feature musical performances by local and regional artists, Gaddis said.
The event will also feature a special children’s area and a kid’s kingdom, with creative activities for children to enjoy.
More than 50 tents of visual artists will showcase a variety of different mediums.
The Best Artist will receive $2,000 in prize money. The Best of Show winner will be awarded $1,000, the Fine Artist runner-up will receive $400, the Artisan Runner-up will win $400, and the Best Booth winner will receive $250.
Trucks on Main
In collaboration with the City of Anderson, The Junior League of Anderson County will host a free Trucks on Main fundraising event for seat safety from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 23.
Seats for Safety is an assistance program that allows sheriff’s deputies to intervene in unsafe situations and aid needy families by providing appropriate car seats for unrestrained children, Graham said.
The Junior League of Anderson County is a women's organization that is committed to empowering women and providing valuable leadership training.
Part of Downtown Anderson will be closed off to allow visitors to see various work vehicles.
"Residents will have the opportunity to explore vehicles such as street sweepers, excavators, wreckers, front-end loaders, garbage trucks, flail mowers, asphalt patch trucks, bucket trucks, and fire trucks," she said.
They will also be able to meet the men and women who build, protect, and serve Anderson County. "These are city workers who don't have the opportunity to interact with the community on a regular, day-to-day basis," Graham said.
Anderson City Fire Department will be at the event.
"This year, we will bring out our fire ladder truck and our fire safety house," said Anderson City Fire Department Fire Chief Charles King.
"Not only does this give residents the opportunity to see the trucks, learn about the equipment, meet the firefighters, and see why they love the job they get to do every day, but it also gives us firefighters a chance to engage with the community we serve," he said.
The Junior League of Anderson County has partnered with local restaurants, such as Groucho's Deli, Electric City Pizza, and Taco Loco, which will donate a percentage of their sales to Seats for Safety.
Local food trucks will be on-site for residents to access, Graham said. She is encouraging residents to support some of the local downtown businesses.
Project Lead-Car Wash
The United Way of Anderson County 's newest program, Project Lead, will host a free car wash from noon until 2 p.m. Saturday, March 23 at the United Way of Anderson County office at 604 N. Murray Ave.
Project Lead is a leadership program for ninth-grade students in Anderson County, said Olivia Armstrong, event organizer and Volunteer Engagement & Youth Program Coordinator.
"We partnered with Clemson University Learning Institute for this program," Armstrong said.
The group meets monthly for a leadership session to discuss community service, leadership skill development, and building relationships to create a brighter future for their communities.
Once a month, Armstong says, the organization conducts a service project on a Saturday.
"This month's service project is the Cash Wash," Armstrong said. "We will have 15 project lead members on-site washing cars."
Cash donations are accepted and will go toward funding the Lead Project.
Community Food Truck Night for the International Network of Michelin Cities
The City of Anderson will host the International Network of Michelin Cities Conferenc e in April.
More than 200 visitors are expected from 25 countries on five continents, including mayors, city officials, university administrators, and business leaders, according to a press release from the City of Anderson.
To kick off this event, the city will host a community-wide food truck night at the Anderson County Farmer's Market at 6 p.m. on April 15.
Residents are welcome to enjoy food from local food trucks.
Vendors include Kodesh BBQ & Bowls, Mac Attack, Matty's Patty's, Pound Cake Man, and Rad Dad's BBQ.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson talks upcoming projects, responds to James Bond casting rumors
"I'm just trying to juggle my family and my work. I'm doing normal life."
Aaron Taylor-Johnson discussed some of his upcoming high-profile roles and responded to the rumors he's next in line to play James Bond in a new interview with Rolling Stone UK .
When asked about the buzz that he's been cast as the new 007, the actor told the outlet he "can only really talk about" the projects that the world knows are coming -- notably "The Fall Guy," "Kraven the Hunter" and "Nosferatu."
He also addressed the commitment such a role would require of him, saying, "I don't feel like I need to have a future drawn out for me."
"Good Morning America" has reached out to the studio behind the James Bond franchise as well as Johnson's personal team for comment on the casting rumors.
MORE: Aaron Taylor-Johnson and more star in new 'Kraven the Hunter' trailer
Elsewhere in the interview, Taylor-Johnson -- who is the magazine's April/May 2024 cover star -- opened up about how acting has shaped him, his upcoming roles and his family life.
Why he calls acting his 'saving grace'
Johnson made his film debut at the age of 10 in 2003's "Shanghai Knights" alongside Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, but he has been acting since he was 6.
He left school at the age of 15 after he said he began to resent his teachers, who he said spoke to him like a child, while adults in the film industry spoke to him like a professional.
By spending time on sets, Taylor-Johnson said those jobs "kept me out of trouble at the right time" because there wasn't much to do but "be naughty" in the London suburbs he grew up in.
"And that was fun, but acting was a saving grace," he explained.
'The Fall Guy,' 'Kraven the Hunter' and 'Nosferatu' roles
For "The Fall Guy," in which Taylor-Johnson stars as a self-centered actor with "Barbie" star Ryan Gosling as his stuntman, Taylor-Johnson said he and director David Leitch grew the role over time.
"David asked me about two weeks before production to do a cameo, and we expanded the role from there," he shared, calling the movie "a real love letter to the stunt crew."
MORE: Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt arrive at 'The Fall Guy' world premiere on a pickup truck
After "The Fall Guy" hits theaters on May 3, Taylor-Johnson will next be seen in "Kraven the Hunter," playing the titular Marvel supervillain.
He teased that "something unique … and something grounded" about the character drew him to the film, and said he relishes the fact that the movie, from director J. C. Chandor, has an R rating.
Taylor-Johnson also recently wrapped shooting for Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu" remake, which required him to trim down for the Victorian era after bulking up to play Kraven the Hunter.
He called Eggers "a cinephile" and "an encyclopedia of film," saying he wanted to work with him no matter the size of the role.

"I just wanted to be a part of his vision, and the boundaries he's pushing in cinema," he said. "And when you work with people who are on that level of genius in their craft, there's an energy with that that you ride on."
Taylor-Johnson also said he and the cast "became really tight and reliant on each other, in a healthy, creative way."
On his job as a dad
Taylor-Johnson also opened up about his home life during the interview.
He gushed about the "four gorgeous daughters" he shares with wife Sam Taylor-Johnson, including her two eldest daughters from a previous marriage and their two youngest, whom they welcomed together.
"...I'm just trying to juggle my family and my work. I'm doing normal life," he shared.
"Career doesn't necessarily take a back seat, but it takes a different thought behind the choices you make," he explained.
Regarding fatherhood, the actor said it made him realize it's his job "to protect the purest, most innocent thing that's come into the world."
"And it's your duty to be their role model," he continued. "You are going to be reflected in their choices later on in life, from who their partners are to how they carry themselves in the world."
