Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao aka Jr. NTR, popularly called Young Tiger has a huge fan base and enjoys a huge following. The talented star, who made several box-office records, has set a new record on social media.
NTR celebrated his birthday on the 20th of May. On the occasion, the makers of his next venture RRR dropped a poster. He shared the poster on the microblogging site Twitter from his official handle.
The poster he released went viral on Twitter and earned more than 89 k likes and received more than 200 k comments. The post apparently became the first one to get over 200k comments in Tollywood.
“He’s a rebel full of heart! It’s been a pleasure to play this intense role and I am happy to introduce to you all, one of my biggest challenges so far. #KomaramBheem from #RRRMovie,” NTR captioned the post.
In the magnum opus RRR, NTR is essaying the role of Komaram Bheem, a celebrated Gond tribal leader, who fought against the Nizam rulers. The poster projects the actor as the tribal leader holding a spear.
Jr. NTR, who earlier urged the fans to stay away from his birthday celebrations in the wake of the Covid scare, shared the tweet while he was receiving treatment as he had come in contact with the virus.
The majority of the comments were of fans asking about his health condition and urging their matinee idol to share updates on his health.
The earlier release date was changed due to the pandemic scare as the shooting came to a standstill with the cases going up steadily. The latest release date was locked on October 13th this year.
Magnum opus RRR directed by SS Rajamouli also stars Mega Power Star Ram Charan. He will be seen as Alluri Sitarama Raju, another legendary freedom fighter. Bollywood actors Ajay Devgan and Alia Bhatt were roped in to play pivotal roles.
After NTR wraps RRR, he will join forces with Koratala Siva for an untitled project. The star is expected to work with K.G.F fame Prashanth Neel and Tamil director Atlee Kumar for his next films.
