'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn wants to work with Jr. NTR; here's why

The third and final instalment from Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Guardians of the Galaxy is almost here. But before the film finally lands in theatres on May 5, fans can’t keep calm, as critics worldwide have shared warm reactions to the film. 

This makes the last outing of director James Gunn with the MCU but none the less he’s had a remarkable and memorable journey. 

It also continues to be interesting that James is one of the absolute select few out there, who continues to work with both MCU and DC simultaneously.

Nevertheless, one knows that kind of immense wave that the Rajamouli film, RRR created globally and how it also went on to fetch the first ever Oscar in the Best Original Song category for India.

Director James Gunn is also an admirer of the mammoth film and in a recent interview with an Indian publication, James stated that he wishes to work with our very own Indian actor Jr NTR. Yes! That's right.

The director was asked if he could introduce an Indian actor into the Guardians universe, who it would be. Replying to the same, the director said he would love to work with the guy from RRR ‘with all the tigers coming out of the cage and everything’. Gunn also added that Jr NTR was ‘amazing’ and ‘cool’ in the film.

This statement by James Gunn is a testament to the growing popularity of Indian cinema on a global scale and the impact it is having on international audiences.
