‘RRR’ star Jr NTR comments on being trolled for his accent, says film was SS Rajamouli’s ‘plan of taking

‘RRR’ stars Ram Charan and NTR Jr are enjoying the mega success of their film. The SS Rajamouli directorial won the Golden Globe Award for ‘Naatu Naatu’ in the Best Original Song category.

Just ahead of the Golden Globes ceremony, the movie’s tickets were sold within a record time of 98 seconds at Los Angeles’ iconic TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX. Speaking about the insane reception the film received, Jr NTR told LA Times that the 98 seconds bit was slightly hard for them to digest, comparing it to the time it takes to cook instant noodles.

He also elaborated on director Rajamouli’s vision and said that he was always sure the filmmaker had something bigger planned in his mind than just national success.

Jr NTR also indirectly addressed criticism surrounding his accent at the Golden Globes. The actor said that very little divide exists between Indian cinema and Hollywood: ‘We are just divided by time zones and a little bit of an accent. Other than that, what an actor goes through in the West is exactly the same process as in the East.’

Team ‘RRR’ is now eyeing the prestigious Oscars, which will be held in March this year.
