Jr NTR
Man of the Masses N. T. Rama Rao Jr. is all set to celebrate his birthday in Hyderabad this year after several years, making the occasion extra special for his fans and well-wishers. The actor, who has been occupied with back-to-back shooting schedules and professional commitments over the past few years, will finally ring in his birthday in the city, surrounded by family, close friends, and fans.
According to sources close to the development, "After several years, NTR is reportedly set to celebrate his birthday in Hyderabad with family and close ones, taking time off from the shoot of NTRNeel for the occasion."
Hyderabad has always held a special place in NTR's journey, and this year's celebration adds an emotional layer for both the actor and his admirers. The update has already generated considerable excitement among fans, who eagerly wait every year to celebrate their superstar's birthday in a grand way. With NTR turning a year older on May 20, special celebrations are expected across the city.
Adding to the excitement, fans are also awaiting a major update from NTRNeel, directed by Prashanth Neel. The much-awaited glimpse from the film is expected to be unveiled at midnight on May 19 as a birthday special, offering audiences their first impactful visual from one of Indian cinema's most talked-about collaborations.
With NTR's birthday celebrations set in Hyderabad and the NTRNeel glimpse arriving the same night, the occasion is shaping up to be a double celebration for fans across the country.
The actor was last seen in the film War 2, which marked his debut in Bollywood. Co-starring Hrithik Roshan, the film failed to have an impression at the box office and proved to be the weakest film in the YRF spy universe.
He is currently focused on his next with director Prashant Neel who has made films like KGF and Salaar.
The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs ever since the project was announced. Unconfirmed reports claim that the film will also feature Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor and Biju Menon. Recent reports also claim that Shahid Kapoor is in talks to star as the villain in the film.
It may be recalled that Jr NTR had joined the sets of the film on April 22 last year.
The film, which is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with NTR Arts NTRNeel, is expected to be a one-of-a-kind cinematic spectacle. The film is being jointly produced by Kalyan Ram Nandamuri, Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili, and Hari Krishna Kosaraju.
