Producer Naga Vamsi drops a cryptic Sanskrit clue, hints at Jr. NTR–Trivikram mythological film on Lord Karthikeya
Picture Credit: X There have been multiple rumors for a long time regarding the Young Tiger Jr. NTR collaborating with director Trivikram Srinivas for his next film. While there hasn't been an official announcement just yet, a cryptic post by producer S. Naga Vamsi seems to have confirmed the news. Today, on June 11, Naga Vamsi took to social media and posted a series of Sanskrit slokas referencing the god of war—Karthikeya, also known as Skanda and Murugan. His post in Sanskrit loosely translates to English as, "He is Kartikeya, the great commander, born of the divine spark, the six-faced one, son of Parvati, known as Skanda, the commander of the celestial army, and the bearer of the Raghu lineage's honor." He later also added, "I worship the protector of the worlds, who rides a peacock, is the essence of great philosophical truths, the enchanting one who dwells in a beautiful land and whose mind is deeply profound, the great Lord of the Lords of the earth, embodying the essence of the great Vedas, the beloved son of Mahadeva (Shiva)."

This collaboration would mark Jr. NTR's second outing with director Trivikram after their successful 2018 film 'Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava,' which was both a critical and commercial success. Earlier, Allu Arjun was widely reported to be attached to this project. However, a 123Telugu report suggests that the project has taken a new direction with Jr. NTR being brought on board.
