It
is
no
secret
that
2018
was
a
year
of
mixed
fortunes
for
Jr
NTR.
He
suffered
a
big
setback
when
his
dad
and
veteran
politician
Harikrishna
died
in
a
car
crash
and
left
a
void
in
his
life.
Despite
the
big
loss,
he
managed
to
complete
work
on
Aravinda
Sametha
which
emerged
as
a
runaway
hit.
With
the
turbulent
year
behind
him,
the
'Young
Tiger'
has
turned
his
attention
to
RRR
which
will
be
directed
by
SS
Rajamouli.
The
film's
press
meet
was
held
earlier
today
(March
14,
2019)
and
it
proved
to
be
a
grand
affair.
During
the
event,
a
scribe
asked
Jr
NTR
a
question
about
doing
a
fantasy
film
once
again.
"After
a
long
gap
after
doing
Yamadonga,
you
are
once
again
doing
a
fantasy
film
RRR
with
Rajamouli," asked
the
scribe.
Replying
to
him,
Tarak
jokingly
said
that
Shakti
too
was
a
fantasy
movie
and
made
fun
of
his
own
film.
"How
did
you
forget
Shakti?
You
may
forget
it,
but
I
don't," he
added.
In
case
you
did
not
know,
Shakti
is
one
of
the
biggest
flops
of
Tarak's
career.
Directed
by
Meher
Ramesh,
it
also
featured
Ileana
in
the
lead.
The
supporting
cast
had
names
such
as
Sonu
Sood,
Jackie
Shroff
and
Prabhu.
Making
fun
of
one's
own
failures
is
not
easy.
Jr
NTR
needs
to
be
praised
for
being
such
a
sport.
