Popular South actor Jr NTR's most awaited film RRR is all set to release on January 7, 2022. Directed by S.S. Rajamouli, RRR is a period action drama wherein Jr NTR will be seen playing the role of a freedom fighter, Komaram Bheem, who fought against the Nizam of Hyderabad.

JR NTR described the RRR journey which began in November 2018 as a 'tough ride'. The actor was quoted by Variety wherein he said that the film demanded a lot of dedication as it was a day in and day out preparation for the role. Recently, a song from the film 'Nattu Nattu' went viral for its quick steps. The actor revealed that the song was shot in Kiev, Ukraine during a pandemic, and the song was loved for the matching steps in perfect sync between Ram Charan and Jr NTR.
“We were doing take after take, the steps where the leg goes left, right, front and back, that took us about 15 to 18 takes to perfect,” the actor said. He even said that Rajamouli wanted the steps of the actor to get in sync and he used to record the step, go back, step, freeze it to see how the legs are moving. Jr NTR said that they were shooting 12 hours a day to get perfect sync for the song. Jr NTR said that when the song was released, within no time it went viral and people went crazy over the matching steps. He even called Rajamouli a taskmaster.
