A
lot
of
speculations
have
been
doing
the
rounds
about
Jr
NTR's
second
innings
as
host
after
Bigg
Boss
Telugu.
Of
late,
media
reports
have
been
rife
that
the
Young
Tiger
of
Tollywood
is
all
set
to
return
with
the
fifth
season
of
Meelo
Evaru
Koteeswarudu.
Reportedly,
the
actor
will
start
shooting
for
the
game
show
in
Annapurna
Studios.
As
fans
and
followers
of
Jr
NTR
can't
wait
to
see
him
back
on
mini-screen,
a
new
rumour
has
taken
over
the
internet,
which
has
now
become
the
talk
of
the
town.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
makers
of
the
show,
Gemini
TV
have
offered
a
humongous
remuneration
to
the
actor
for
hosting
the
show.
It
is
said
that
the
actor
is
hosting
60
episodes
of
the
show
and
is
given
30
lakh
per
episode,
which
makes
it
to
a
total
of
Rs
18
crore
for
Meelo
Evaru
Koteeswarudu.
If
true,
Jr
NTR
has
now
become
the
highest-paid
celebrity
in
Telugu
television
history.
Notably,
the
actor's
hosting
skills
and
chit-chats
with
viewers
was
highly
appreciated
during
his
debut
on
mini-screen
for
Bigg
Boss
Telugu.
Though
he
was
yet
again
offered
the
role
of
host
for
the
second
season
of
the
reality
show,
the
actor
had
rejected
it
owing
to
date
issues.
Following
his
exit,
Natural
Star
Nani
was
given
the
opportunity
for
Bigg
Boss
Telugu
2.
Talking
about
Jr
NTR's
upcoming
films,
he
is
a
part
of
SS
Rajamouli's
period
drama
RRR,
featuring
Ram
Charan,
and
Alia
Bhatt
in
lead
roles.
Tarak
will
also
be
seen
in
Trivikram
Srinivas
and
Prashanth
Neel's
yet-to-be-titled
films.
