Shooting Tiger Scene Became Easy Because of Jr. NTR, Reveals Director S.S. Rajamouli

RRR director S.S. Rajamouli and actor Jr. NTR are really close to each other. Over the course of their 20-year friendship, the two have collaborated on four films, Students No. 1, Simhadri, Yamadonga and recent blockbuster, RRR. The Tiger shouting scene has been a major highlight of the film, and the director feels that it became easy because of Jr. NTR.

Rajamouli opened up, saying, "The sequence that I thought would be difficult is that – How I can make one man face a tiger, shout like a tiger, and make him more fierce than the tiger. I forgot that I had NTR, and then that was the easiest for me."

Describing more, he added, "NTR Jr. is an action powerhouse. I think he is a born actor. He has a fantastic grabbing memory, so as soon as I describe a scenario or a story, it is permanently ingrained in his mind."

"We are on such a great wavelength that when I tell him what to do, he knows what he will do, and I know what I will expect of him. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to me that he performs in the manner required of him as soon as the camera starts to roll," SS Rajamouli concluded.
