Many Jr NTR fans were complaining that they couldn't watch enough of their star on-screen for four years where he devoted his time to SS Rajamouli's RRR. However, all they had was an element of pride and utmost satisfaction when they watched the 'Young Tiger' deliver a performance of a lifetime in RRR, where he shared screen space with Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani, Shriya Saran and Ajay Devgn. In a heartfelt note he shared today, the star thanked the entire team of RRR and the audience for pushing him to perform his best.
Calling RRR, a landmark film in his career, Jr NTR conveyed his gratitude to SS Rajamouli, whom he refers to as Jakkanna, for inspiring him to give his best. He felt the filmmaker brought out the best in him and was crucial in helping him showcase the various layers in his character, Bheem, with relative ease. He told the film couldn't have happened without Ram Charan and that no one could've done justice to Alluri Sitarama Raju's role more than him. Adding that he was the fire to his water, Jr NTR stated RRR would've been incomplete without Charan.
Jr NTR labelled it an honour to work with the 'legendary' Ajay Devgn and named Alia a powerhouse performer who added strength to the film with her presence. He was in awe of the craft and the performances of Olivia Morris, Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson and welcomed them to Indian cinema. Besides, he credited the producer DVV Danayya, composer MM Keeravaani, Vijayendra Prasad for being pillars of support and helping RRR come alive on the screen. "RRR is one of the finest scripts in Indian cinema and will be celebrated for generations," he added.
He gave technicians their due as well for their unwavering dedication and expertise, namely cinematographer Senthil Kumar, VFX head Srinivas Mohan, editor Sreekar Prasad. Jr NTR mentioned that SS Rajamouli's son Karthikeya, who's the line producer for RRR, was the anchor of the film. Kaala Bhairava's voice for Komuram Bheemudo was appreciated as well and so was Prem Rakshit for his choreography for Naatu Naatu. Jr NTR thanked the fraternity, media and his fans for their unconditional love and support in making RRR one of the biggest action drama films across the globe.
"Last but not least, I would like to thank my fans from the bottom of my heart. Your unconditional love and support fueled me to give my best even in the most challenging times of Covid-1 9. I promise to entertain you all with many more films..," he signed off. Jr NTR's next is with Koratala Siva, where he's rumoured to be reuniting with Alia Bhatt again, after which he'll wrap up a film with Prashanth Neel as well.
