Jr NTR and Prabhas stand tall as two of the brightest stars in the vast galaxy of Indian cinema. Their charisma transcends borders, captivating audiences not just in India but across the globe. It’s no secret that these two powerhouse actors share a deep bond of friendship and mutual admiration. However, a light-hearted moment once unfolded when Prabhas jokingly lamented about Jr NTR stealing the spotlight when it comes to charming the ladies. Yes, you heard it right!
The delightful incident took place during the grand launch event of the movie Brindavanam in 2010, where Prabhas graced the occasion as the chief guest. In a playful tone, the Baahubali star humorously expressed his “insecurity” regarding Jr NTR’s irresistible charm that seemed to ward off female attention from him.
In a jesting manner, Prabhas quipped, “Tarak is the young tiger of our industry, renowned for his powerful roles. But let’s set aside those roles for a moment because he looks absolutely dashing in the Brindavanam posters. I simply adore all the songs from this film. I’ve been trying to woo the ladies with movies like Varsham and Darling, but it appears that he’s not willing to share the limelight with me now.” The revelation elicited uproarious laughter from the gathered audience.
This wasn’t the first instance of Prabhas openly expressing his fondness for Jr NTR. A memorable moment unfolded on the sets of Koffee With Karan, where Prabhas, alongside Rana Daggubati and SS Rajamouli, ranked Jr NTR at the pinnacle when asked to choose between other prominent actors like Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan. In a rapid-fire round, Prabhas, with a gleaming smile, placed Jr NTR at the top, followed by Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and Ram Charan.
Turning our gaze to their professional endeavors, Jr NTR was last spotted in the riveting Devara: Part 1 alongside Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. Meanwhile, Prabhas enthralled audiences with his stellar performance in Nag Ashwin’s futuristic saga Kalki 2898 AD, sharing screen space with stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kamal Haasan, and Disha Patani.
In the realm of Indian cinema, the bond between Jr NTR and Prabhas shines as brightly as their illustrious careers, weaving a tale of camaraderie and admiration that resonates beyond the silver screen.
