For Telugu audience, the face of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna is the legendary iconic actor Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. The way he portrayed the mythological characters is impossible for anyone to play with the same mesmerising effect on the audience. The thought that this iconic actor might have lost his life long before he became the CM of AP itself is shocking.
In the recent episode of ‘Soundarya Lahari’ on the hundred years journey of Darshakendrudu K Raghavendra Rao, the veteran director shared this shocking truth. He alongwith his unit went to Kashmir to picturise a romantic song on Sr.NTR and Sridevi. There was no sun for 10 days and the place was hit by snow storm. Since shooting was out of question, the unit was waiting for the storm to subside and for the sun to shine.
Suddenly one day they found NTR missing. Actually NTR went in search of a temple because he was a spiritual person at heart. But he was caught in the snow storm and was neck deep buried in the snow by the time the unit members discovered him. When the team rescued NTR, he had turned totally blue, but out of danger after the first aid. The very next day, the sun shone and thus NTR who was dragged into near death was seen in a rejunevated enthusiasm shooting for the song. OMG! What an escape!
