For a while now, fans have questioned NTR’s choice of films. Even with a solid success streak, many feel he’s been playing it too safe and sticking to predictable roles.
As one of the most talented actors in Telugu cinema, NTR constantly faces pressure to explore complex and challenging stories. That’s why his collaboration with director Prashanth Neel has drawn so much attention.
This film seems to be the kind of project fans have been waiting for—something bold and high-stakes. NTR’s recent transformation has also become a talking point.
A few weeks ago, his weight loss and appearance drew backlash. But the latest photos, including one released today, have completely changed the conversation. With a thick beard and a well-built physique, Tarak looks powerful and composed.
It’s clear that Neel has perfected NTR’s look for the film. The real test now is to bring out the full range of Tarak’s acting. If Neel manages to tap into that, the results could be extraordinary.
So far, Neel’s style has leaned heavily on commercial appeal and visual grandeur. But since this is a dream project for him and NTR is his favourite hero, fans expect him to push deeper—into raw emotion and performance.
If Neel succeeds in unlocking that side of Tarak, this film could redefine both their careers.
