Failure taught me life lessons: Jr NTR

The music launch of Jr NTR’s much-awaited film, Janata Garage, was held on Friday. The event took place with much fanfare and saw a large crowd gathering. At the event, the actor revealed that his failures have taught him the meaning of life. “I made my debut with Ninnu Choodalani and at that time, I didn’t know anything. At a very young age, I experienced success with films like Simhadri. But soon after, I had a streak of failures which left me disappointed. Finally, writer Vakkantham Vamsi came up with the story for Temper, which Puri Jagannadh offered to direct. Temper turned out to be a hit and with that, I began to see a small ray of hope. After that, Nannaku Prematho did well too, and now, I feel that Janata Garage is the movie that will take me closer to my goal,” he said, adding confidently that the upcoming film will be a blockbuster.

Talking about the bond that he shares with the director, Jr NTR said, “Koratala Siva and I are very good friends. He narrated the story to me two years ago, but I was busy doing other films that were not so successful. He is one of the best writers and directors who can visualise an elaborate story within a short span of time.” He continued, “I should also thank him for giving me the opportunity to act alongside Mohanlal, one of the best actors that the country has seen. It’s an honour to be working with the great actor.”

The actor also took to the stage to request fans to refrain from wasting milk on cut outs of the actor. “I have seen a few videos where fans are performing  Paalabhishekam, but I am completely against it. Instead of wasting it, please give that milk to those in need,” he said, adding that he did not want any animals to be harmed by his fans either, when his film releases.
