Prosthetics for NTR27!

Basking in the success of Janatha Garage, Telugu star Jr NTR is teaming up with director Bobby for a Telugu flick.

As per recent developments, Hollywood makeup artist Vance Hartwell, who has worked in films like The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Shutter Island, is on board to handle NTR’s makeover for the film.

“NTR plays three characters in the film, and Hartwell has been roped in to specially take care of his look for one role. He has been flown down from Los Angeles to take the measurement for a facial mask. This is the first time in his career that NTR will be seen using prosthetic,” a source from the film’s unit said.

To be directed by Bobby, the film also stars Raashi Khanna as one of the leading ladies.

“Hartwell will join the sets from March. It’s going to be a very special look for NTR, and hence, the makers are leaving no stone unturned,” the source said.

Produced by NTR Arts, the team will start shooting by the end of this month. PK fame cinematographer CK Muraleedharan will crank the camera.
