He recently claimed in an interview that “Jr. NTR is an action powerhouse. I think he is a born actor. He has a fantastic grasping memory, so as soon as I describe a scenario or a story, it is permanently ingrained in his mind. We are on such a great wavelength that when I tell him what to do something, he knows what he will do and I know what I will expect of him. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to me that he performs in the manner required of him as soon as the camera starts to roll.”
He also added, “The sequence which I thought would be difficult is – ‘How I can make one man face a tiger, shout like a tiger and make him fiercer than the tiger’. I forgot that I had Jr. NTR and then that was the easiest for me.”
While still basking in ‘RRR’s success, Jr. NTR has a host of interesting projects lined up for him. His upcoming films include NTR30 directed by ‘Janatha Garage’ director Koratala Siva and NTR31 directed by ‘KGF’ director Prashanth Neel.
