From ‘Kalki 2’ to NTR’s ‘Dragon’: Alia Bhatt Set for Two Big Telugu Films

Alia Bhatt could be heading for a much bigger innings in Telugu cinema, with the Bollywood star reportedly set to feature in two highly anticipated pan-India projects - Kalki 2 and Dragon.

Bhatt’s association with Telugu cinema began with SS Rajamouli’s RRR, where she appeared as Sita alongside Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Although her role in the Oscar-winning blockbuster was relatively brief, the film helped introduce her to a wider Telugu-speaking audience.

Now, according to industry reports, the actor is being considered for a key role in Kalki 2, the much-awaited sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. While an official confirmation of her casting is awaited, the development has already sparked interest among moviegoers.

At the same time, Bhatt is strongly linked to Dragon, the upcoming action entertainer directed by KGF and Salaar filmmaker Prashanth Neel and headlined by Jr NTR. The project would reunite Bhatt with NTR after RRR, making the reported casting particularly interesting for fans.

The possibility of Bhatt taking on more substantial roles in Telugu cinema is what makes these developments significant. Unlike her brief appearance in RRR, both Kalki 2 and Dragon could give the actor greater scope to establish herself in the Telugu film industry.

Both projects are being mounted on a massive pan-India scale, with strong expectations surrounding their casts, directors and production values. Bhatt’s reported involvement could further strengthen their appeal across audiences.

If the reports materialise, these films could mark an important new chapter in Alia Bhatt’s Telugu cinema journey, giving the actor a chance to work with some of the biggest names and filmmakers in the industry.

For now, fans will have to wait for official announcements to know the exact details of her roles.
