It was expected that young tiger NTR would sign Puri Jagananth’s film this year but sources now say that the project has been pushed back to 2013. Nandamuri fans were expecting director Puri to wield the megaphone for their favorite hero but it looks like this formidable combo would come together only in 2013.

NTR’s Baadshah was suppose to start in May but the movie was delayed and the shoot will commence from July 1. Also, NTR has Harish Shankar’s film scheduled to start from October. So it’s highly unlikely that the young tiger will work with Puri Jagannath in this year.

As a result, Puri has decided to work with stylish star Allu Arjun after he wraps up Pawan Kalyan’s “Cameraman Ganga tho Rambabu”. Puri is expected to launch Allu Arjun’s film on October 18 and release on December 21.
