NTR Jr finds himself caught in a financial crossfire. If all had gone well, his next project directed by Koratala Siva would have gone on the floors a few months ago.

But here’s the thing. Koratala, a reputed filmmaker with hits like Janatha Garage and Bharat Ane Nenu under his belt, finds himself in a financial mess after the crippling debacle of his latest film Acharya.

The ambitious film bringing together father Chiranjeevi and son Ramcharan was expected to be a blockbuster. Instead it turned out to be a shocking boxoffice fiasco leaving behind a trail of debts and financial liabilities.

“Until and unless Koratala clears all the arrears related to Acharya he won’t start his film with NTR Jr,” a source from Hyderabad informs me.

In the meanwhile the Telugu script for the NTR film is being modified to make it a pan-India project .
