Jr NTR admits old family rivalry with Ram Charan

Jr NTR, who is currently basking in the glorious success of RRR where he essays the role of Komaram Bheem, has opened up about his rivalry with Ram Charan.

While Ram Charan and Jr NTR rewrote the meaning of ‘bromance’ on the sets of RRR, they were seen sharing a stronger bond, even during the promotions of S.S. Rajamouli’s magnum opus.

However, in real life, before the movie RRR, there was rivalry between them. Jr NTR, who confessed the same during an interview, had said it is the movie that brought them together.

As both the star actors belong to big families in Tollywood, their individual fan bases are always divided, creating an undeclared rivalry between them.

NTR admitted that there has been a rival kind of competition between them for more than 30 years now. “The whole scenario has changed, as Charan and I are best friends now”, the Yamadonga actor said.

Creating much buzz at the theatres, the movie RRR depicts two historical figures, Komaram Bheem, played by Jr NTR, and Alluri Sitarama Raju, played by Ram Charan, from the Indian Independence movement. — IANS
