Shalini Nandamuri, a native of Karnataka, has always been proud of her roots, and NTR often highlights his connection to the state and its culture.

On the professional front, Jr NTR is gearing up for his next big project with director Prashanth Neel. This untitled film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, marks the first collaboration between the actor and director. The project is set to go on floors by the end of October, with NTR joining the shoot in December. The film is expected to be a massive venture, with production extending over a year and a release planned for January 2026.

Meanwhile, Jr NTR is awaiting the release of Devara Part 1, set to hit theatres on September 27.
