This is a fun fact for all the Telugu movie fans!! We have seen NTR Jr and Ram Charan enthral fans in the recent blockbuster RRR. In the film, Jr NTR played the role of freedom fighter Komaram Bheem and Ram Charan played the role of Alluri Sitarama Raju but in the climax appeared as Ram. A report on koimoi.com tells us about Jr NTR donning the role of Lord Rama years back, and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
While Jr NTR is a notable actor in the Indian film industry now, he bagged the prestigious National Award 25 years ago. Long before making his debut as a lead actor, he appeared as a child actor in the 1997 film ‘Ramayanam’. He played the role of Lord Ram in the mythological drama.
‘Shakuntalam’ director Gunasekhar helmed the film and featured nearly 3000 children. The RRR actor at that time won the National Film Award for Best Children’s Film that year. If several reports are to be believed, the actor who was a classical dancer had grabbed the attention of the casting team, thereby bagging the role of Lord Rama.
Wow!! This is a very engaging fact!!
