As quoted by Indiatimes, NTR said, “We were tortured for 65 nights. We were beating each other, me and Ram Charan — we were killing each other and then it started with apologising — SS Rajamouli really wanted us to hate each other.” ALSO READ: Jr NTR Receives An Adorable Surprise From The Hotel Staff As He Promotes RRR In Japan
He further went on to explain that they shot Naatu Naatu on the last leg of the film. The 39-year-old actor continued, “Finally, by the 21st or 22nd night, we stopped apologising and said let’s get it done. And that’s when he brings his bazooka, called Naatu Naatu. We’ve done complicated steps, but Naatu Naatu is not about the steps being complicated, it was the synchronisation, which Rajamouli stressed on.”
Talking about his iconic scene where Bheem jumps out of a vehicle along with wild animal during a party at the Britishers’ palace, he said that he was never told how the scene would look like. He was blown away when he saw the end product. The movie received a standing ovation at the event.
Released in 2022, the movie has also been shortlisted for Orscars 2023.
