Jr. NTR is reuniting with Koratala Siva for NTR 30 after Janatha Garage. The project is expected to be officially launched later this month and will go on the floors next month. However, restless fans have been asking for updates on social media since last few weeks.
On Sunday, speaking at the pre-release event of his brother Kalyan Ram’s film Amigos, NTR requested his fans to not keep demand for updates. “Sometimes, when we’re working on a film, there isn’t much information to share. We can’t keep sharing updates on a daily or hourly basis. As much as I understand your excitement and the urge, sometimes all of this leads to a lot of pressure on the producer as well as the filmmaker. Due to the pressure, sometimes we end up sharing an update which doesn’t have much value which upsets the fans even more,” he said.
NTR further added that a lot of actors face a similar kind of pressure and that’s not healthy. “If there’s an update, we will share with the fans first even before we share it with our wife at home. This is only because we understand how important you are all. Only if there’s an update worth sharing, we will share it first with you all,” he added.
NTR recently returned from the Oscar campaign for RRR. He joined filmmaker SS Rajamouli and co-star Ram Charan on the campaign which lasted a few weeks in the US.
Released last March in cinemas, RRR is a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and is based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. While Ram Charan played Ram, Tarak was seen as Bheem.
