Why Jr NTR and Trivikram Srinivas film ‘God of War’ is yet to be announced; Here’s what we know

There are reports that Jr NTR and Trivikram Srinivas will reunite for an upcoming mythological film. Although there’s no official announcement, reports suggested the makers would unveil the project on Jr NTR’s birthday, May 20. As per the latest buzz, the team is taking extra time before announcing the movie.The film is being referred to as ‘God of War’ and is expected to bring Jr NTR and Trivikram Srinivas together once again. According to a report by Moneycontrol, the reason is the announcement video and promotional material. Reports suggest the team felt the first version did not fully match the film's scale and vision.Because of this, the makers reportedly decided to rework the promotional content. They wanted the first glimpse to create a strong impact and reflect the project's grandeur. This is believed to be one of the main reasons behind the delay in making the film official.Speculation about the film’s story has also kept fans interested. Last year, Jr NTR was spotted carrying the book “Muruga - The Lord of War, The God of Wisdom” by Anand Balasubramanian during an airport appearance in Mumbai.This led to discussions that the actor may have already started preparing for the role. Industry buzz suggests that the film could be based on Lord Kumara Swamy, also known as Lord Kartikeya or Subrahmanya Swamy. While there is still no official confirmation.Meanwhile, Jr NTR will next be seen in Prashanth Neel’s ‘Dragon’ playing the fierce character Luger, the feared Assassin-in-Chief of the Afghan Trading Company.On his birthday, the makers revealed the first look and title of the film. It shows the film’s world filled with crime, drugs and politics. The glimpse starts with visuals of guns, British colonisation and opium farming.
