As RRR completes four years, NTR reflected on his transformative journey of portraying Komaram Bheem, calling it one of the most defining phases of his career. The actor, widely regarded as one of India’s biggest stars, shared, “Everything I have done so far in my career has prepared me for this project.” Speaking about his approach to acting, NTR added, “I've never had a process or recipe that I’ve followed when it comes to acting. No actor can follow a set method for that matter. Rajamouli as a director has always challenged me. This is my fourth collaboration with him. Having worked with him, I’ve realised that an actor has to be naive to understand and deliver what his director wants. In my first three collaborations with Rajamouli, I was very naive. I think all that naivety prepared me to play Bheem in RRR.”

Highlighting their collaboration, S. S. Rajamouli also spoke highly of NTR’s dedication, stating, “With NTR, it felt like I was shooting with not one, but two tigers.” RRR, which also starred Ram Charan, went on to become a global phenomenon, earning widespread acclaim for its storytelling, performances, and scale. The film’s impact extended internationally, with Naatu Naatu winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song, further cementing its legacy. Up next, the actor will be seen in the highly anticipated NTRxNeel, further raising excitement among fans eager to witness yet another powerful performance.
