Jr NTR Won’t Visit NTR Ghat To Pay Tribute To Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao This Year

It has become a tradition for Jr NTR and Nandamuri Kalyanram to visit NTR Ghat to pay tribute to the legendary Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. However, due to the countrywide lockdown, they will be paying their respects from home this year. This is being done in favor of avoiding a huge gathering as fans gather in huge numbers to get a glimpse of Jr NTR.

Superstar Chiranjeevi also paid tribute to the former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister through social media. He shared a throwback picture on Instagram and Twitter with Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. #LegendaryNTRJayanthi also became a trend on Twitter as fans paid respects to the actor on his birth anniversary.

However, Balakrishna did visit NTR ghat today to pay his respects.

Meanwhile, Filmmaker Raghavendra Rao K paid tribute to the legend from his home. He wrote on Twitter, “My cinematic journey has had numerous highs! But the biggest honour, even greater than accolades and awards is surely having had the opportunity to work with the legendary NTR garu. I will forever cherish this and consider it my biggest achievement.”

Jr NTR has carved his own place in the hearts of fans with his versatile roles. However, there is one role the actor refuses to take on. In 2017, the actor told IANS he doesn’t want to attempt playing his grandfather for a biopic. “I don’t have the courage. It’s not that I can’t do it but I just don’t want to attempt”.

Jr NTR will be seen next in RRR alongside Ram Charan. The film is being directed by SS Rajamouli and will feature Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn.
