The film Kantri starring Jr. NTR is now in progress. Mehar Ramesh is the director. The film is shaping up very well and NTR has high hopes from the film.
Mehar Ramesh is a close relative of megastar Chiranjeevi. He has directed a couple of Kannada films. Both of them were remakes of hit Telugu films.
Kantri is Mehar Ramesh's first film in Telugu. It has now come to light that Mehar Ramesh had initially written the story keeping Pawan Kalyan in mind. But Pawan Kalyan is reported to have expressed his inability to do the film.
After that, Mehar Ramesh approached even Allu Arjun and narrated the story to him. But it did not work out with Arjun too.
Finally Ramesh approached Jr. NTR with the same .NTR was highly impressed with the story and accepted it immediately. NTR has high expectations and even his fans hope that the film will be a super duper hit.
We will know only after the film is released if he has proved right. Then we can say that Pawan Kalyan's loss is NTR's gain. But why both Pawan and Arjun have negated this film? That is igniting some doubts on the film, say sources.
