Mumbai: Actor Saif Ali Khan on Tuesday joined the cast of superstar Jr NTR's next feature film. Production banner NTR Arts shared the news of Saif joining the pan-India movie's cast, which also includes actor Janhvi Kapoor in the lead role. The chatter around NTR30 has been rife right from the word go. While it will witness Janhvi's foray into south cinema, the film will be NTR's first outing after his monstrous hit RRR. With Saif coming on board, the casting coup for NRT30 only got a notch more interesting.
The studio also posted photos of Saif's meeting with Jr NTR and director Koratala Siva. "Team #NTR30 welcomes #SaifAliKhan on board. The National Award-winning actor joined the shoot of the high voltage action drama," NTR Arts posted on Twitter. The movie marks the first collaboration between Saif and Jr NTR. It is slated to be released in theatres on April 5, 2024.
Earlier, makers released Janhvi's first look from the film on her birthday in March. When Jr NTR commenced the shoot on April 1, an intriguing video of the actor stormed social media. Tentatively titled NTR30, the movie is billed as a high-octane action drama set in the forgotten coastal lands of India.
