On the eve of his birthday (celebrated on May 20), Jr. NTR released the motion poster of his upcoming film directed by Koratala Siva. Tentatively titled NTR 30, the film is yet to get its title and star cast in place. There were reports that Alia Bhatt was approached for the yet-to-be-titled film. However, now, it seems the actress has turned the offer down. 

Reportedly, due to unknown reasons, Alia declined the offer to reunite with her RRR co-star Jr.NTR for his next film. According to the latest reports, the makers turned to Deepika Padukone after getting a refusal from Alia. It is being reported that the superstar has also shown disinterest in the big-scale film.
