In a surprising move, popular Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan has decided to take on the role of Lord Kartikeya, also known as Murugan, before his counterpart and brother, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. (NTR), can portray the same character on the big screen.
The news comes as NTR and acclaimed director Trivikram are set to collaborate on a mythological drama based on the story of Lord Kartikeya. However, Pawan Kalyan has reportedly fast-tracked his own project, titled ‘Kartikeya Vel,’ which will explore the life and significance of the Hindu deity.
This unexpected development has created a sense of anticipation and excitement among Telugu cinema enthusiasts, who are eager to see how the two star brothers will approach the same mythological figure from different perspectives. Pawan Kalyan, known for his powerful performances and larger-than-life screen presence, is expected to bring his own unique interpretation to the role of Lord Kartikeya.
The decision to take on the ‘Kartikeya Vel’ project is seen as a strategic move by Pawan Kalyan, who likely wants to establish his own claim on the character before NTR and Trivikram’s version hits the screens. This move also highlights the ongoing rivalry and competitive spirit between the two brothers, who have maintained a successful and influential presence in the Telugu film industry.
While details about the plot and production of ‘Kartikeya Vel’ remain scarce, industry insiders suggest that Pawan Kalyan’s film will explore the broader mythology and symbolism surrounding Lord Kartikeya, delving into his origins, powers, and significance in Hindu culture. The actor’s dedicated fan base is eagerly awaiting further updates on the project, which is expected to be a grand visual spectacle that showcases the grandeur and mysticism of the mythological character.
The impending clash between Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Kartikeya Vel’ and NTR’s untitled mythological drama has sparked a sense of anticipation and healthy competition among Telugu cinema enthusiasts. As the two stars prepare to bring their own interpretations of Lord Kartikeya to the big screen, audiences can look forward to an exciting and thought-provoking exploration of this revered Hindu deity.
