Lagadapati Sridhar on NTR rising stardom. NTR attained tremendous stardom across the world with his performance in Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR. He is now starring in his first Bollywood project War 2 and also is starring in Dragon under the direction of Prashanth Neel. He entertained with Devara Part 1 recently. NTR is getting flooded with numerous offers from Bollywood.
In the meantime, Lagadapati Sridhar, speaking to scribes spoke on whether NTR will move to Bollywood. He said "I'm happy to see a Telugu star take on a big Hindi film, but I don't think he will permanently shift to Bollywood. Perhaps he was drawn to the role and wanted to showcase his talent in a new avatar. I believe he will be selective with his Hindi projects,"
He continued "After Prabhas and Allu Arjun, NTR is one of the few Telugu actors who have gained a strong following among non-Telugu audiences. This proves that an actor can continue doing Telugu films while earning global recognition, as pan-India cinema has broken language and regional barriers,"
Speaking at Devara premier screening in Japan,he said . "The market has expanded significantly, and now, countries like Japan and China are embracing our films. NTR's Japanese fanbase is another testament to his stardom, and he is wisely using this opportunity to strengthen his presence internationally,"
He added "Reaching international audiences isn't just a choice anymore—it’s a necessity. Expanding to bigger markets will allow producers to invest more and create true pan-world movies,"
He shared "His grandfather, the legendary Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, dedicated his career to Telugu cinema and its audience. He played iconic roles that left a lasting impact across generations. I sincerely hope Jr. NTR follows in his footsteps, continuing to be the pride of Telugu cinema."
