A Journey That Defines Stardom
May 20, 1983, was the birth date of Jr NTR, grandson of Telugu cinema legend and former Chief Minister Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (Sr NTR). He began his profession as a child artist in the mythological film “Ramayanam” (1997), which already predicted the great actor he would become. He made his debut as a lead in “Ninnu Choodalani” in 2001 at the young age of 18, but it was the film “Student No.1” by SS Rajamouli that brought him into the spotlight.
Years passed, and Jr NTR built a filmography that bears witness to versatility and growth. Films like:
- Aadi (2002)
- Simhadri (2003)
- Rakhi (2006)
- Yamadonga (2007)
- Brindavanam (2010)
- Temper (2015)
- Nannaku Prematho (2016)
- Janatha Garage (2016)
- Jai Lava Kusa (2017)
- Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018)

…all of which cemented his legacy.
His collaboration with SS Rajamouli in the global hit RRR, where he played Komaram Bheem, made him a global star. Not only within India, but also by global audiences, critics, and directors, his work was celebrated. The song “Naatu Naatu” along with Ram Charan even took home an Oscar for Best Original Song, an event that became historic.
WAR 2 & A New National Canvas
Jr NTR is now ready to conquer Bollywood with “War 2”, one of YRF Spy Universe’s most awaited action spectacles, where he will share screen space with Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is the sequel to blockbuster War and is all set to be a high-octane thriller. Audiences are already thrilled with the teaser glimpses and the frenzy about the clash between NTR and Hrithik—two titans from two worlds clashing on one screen.
The film is being made NTR’s launchpad to pan-Indian and international cinema stardom. His charisma, adherence to characters, and personal identity make him the right fit for action-thrillers that appeal globally.
A Private Man with a Public Heart
Other than the camera, Jr NTR has also gained recognition for his humility, intelligence, and good sense of responsibility. Although he is a star, he is humble and respectful in nature. He’s married to Lakshmi Pranathi and is a father of two children. He remains connected to his family roots while creating his own independent path.
He is also a fine public orator, whose public speeches are typically characterised by an keen political acumen and emotional depth. His public event and audio launch speeches resonate with fans and detractors both.
Looking Ahead
While War 2 dominates the headlines, Jr NTR has inked multiple big-ticket films with top production companies too. He will team up again with Koratala Siva for “Devara,” a film that’s already creating buzz. There are also whispers of pairing up with directors like Prashanth Neel, Vetrimaaran, and Lokesh Kanagaraj—some of the brightest creative minds in modern Indian cinema.
From Tollywood to Bollywood, and now to the global stage, Jr NTR’s rise is unparalleled. He continues to break boundaries with new genres, new languages of India, and new partnerships—never settled, perpetually self-assured.
