Last Updated:
We stumbled upon glimpses from a pooja ceremony hosted for legendary NTR's great-grandson's entry into the film business.
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, often regarded as one of the most influential actors in Indian cinema, has been part of over 300 films. The legendary actor made his debut in the Telugu filmmaking industry in 1949 with a film titled Mana Desam and never looked back. Eventually, many of his successors became part of the world of glam and glitz, including the South Indian film superstar Jr NTR, who continued his rich legacy. Now, it's the time for NTR's great-grandson, who shares his name, to join the legacy of acting.
Nannaku Prematho fame Jr NTR's brother, Late Janaki Ram's son Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, is all set to join the film industry with an upcoming film directed by Y.V.S. Chowdhary. To mark the beginning of the auspicious event, the makers hosted a pooja ceremony at the NTR ghat in Hyderabad, and glimpses from the same have been going viral on social media handles.
Decked up in a white kurta set, the booming actor also gave a speech ahead of his Tollywood debut after the pooja ceremony. Nara Bhuvaneswari, Garapati Lokeswari, Daggubati Purandeswari, Vasundhara Devi, and many other NTR family members were invited to the ceremony as chief guests.

The doting dadu shared a cool photo of NTR flaunting his swag while posing for the lens in a seated posture. Alongside this, the CM wrote, 'Warm wishes to Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao, son of late Shri Janakiram Garu, as he marks his entry into cinema. Wishing him great success as the first look of his debut film is unveiled today."

Directed by Chowdhary, the film will be produced under the banner of Yelamanchali Geetha NTR (New Talent Roars). As per multiple reports, the movie will reportedly hit the theatres next year. Besides NTR, a Telugu girl named Veena Rao, who is also a professional Kuchipudi dancer, will make her debut opposite the lead actor. Sai Madhav Burra is writing the dialogues, and MM Keeravaani is composing the film's music, while the lyrics have been written by Chandrabose.
FYI: Chowdhary has good relations with the Nandamuri dynasty. He made his debut as a director with the film Sri Seetharama Kalyanam Choothamu Raarandi, and went on to direct Seetharama Raju, Yuvaraju, Lahiri Lahiri Lahiri, Seethaiah, Devadasu, Okka Magadu, Salim, and Rey, among many others.
