After 'RRR' success, N.T. Rama Rao Jr. returns with 'Devara: Part 1' | AP interview

N.T. Rama Rao Jr. is following up the international success of "RRR" with the action-drama "Devara: Part 1," in which he plays both a mythical hero and a son struggling with his dad's legacy. He says Los Angeles has become his "lucky charm" after last year's trip to the Oscars - where "Naatu Naatu" won best song - and a subsequent invitation to join the U.S. film academy. The 41-year-old Tollywood star, whose father and grandfather were both prominent actors and political leaders, sat down with AP entertainment editor Ryan Pearson to talk about his own perspective on fatherhood, the difficulty of filming crowd-pleasing underwater scenes, his Marvel aspirations, staying "innocent" as an actor - and his love for the Will Smith film "The Pursuit of Happyness." #devara #devarapart1 #ntr #tollywoodnews

Its better for NTR to enter in Bollywood / Hollywood. No caste based audience, No politics based audience.

[@anilchirumamilla3968]

❤❤

[@souravmehta7192]

Then he couldn’t survive with out them sorry. His main section of audience are his caste and his political support

[@Raghav11123]

​@@souravmehta7192😂😂😂
Tdp dint accepted him in the fear of lokesh loosing crown. Just escape from ntr they gave the crown to pk.
Balakrishna and pandimuri family not accepted him as family.
Chowdhury in my known circle they won't even care him around 50% don't accept him they are waiting for mokshagna.
Other hero castes.
Mega family : total arround 24% of population in Ap they support to core.
Chowdhury: most with Balakrishna and Mahesh, few with NTR and thier population is just 3%
Ps : I am from gowda community just to be clear in conversation.
You are saying 24% support is not caste based fans and 1% out 3% is caste based 😂😂😂
