Jr NTR reveals having a creative conflict between him and director Ayan Mukerji for War 2
During a recent interview, Jr NTR opened up his experience of working in his Bollywood debut with Ayan Mukerji's War 2 and revealed how he assured the filmmaker of his instinct based acting method.
Jr NTR is massively preparing for the release of his next film, Devara: Part 1. This marks his first solo release on a pan-India basis after six years. The movie would hit theaters on September 27, 2024. Ahead of it, the actor made some candid confessions about what his style of performing purely based on instincts. He also revealed how he convinced his War 2 director Ayan Mukerji of his unique method of acting.
During a cross-promotional event of Devara and Alia Bhatt’s film Jigra, Jr NTR opened up the work culture in the South film industry. While conversing with Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt, the RRR actor claimed that South films are chaotically organized. Explaining further, the actor revealed that while everybody delivers their best performance individually, they cease to follow a specific plan of action broadly.
Jr NTR said, “Too much prep doesn't give you the chance to explore yourself. South Indian films (sets) have always been chaotically organized. Like, if the prints have to come tomorrow, the team will still ask for one extra hour because they want to make some changes in the edit. The clock is ticking; the prints have to be delivered, but you are still working on the film."
Moving further in the interview, Jr NTR also shared his experience of working in his first Bollywood film, War 2, opposite Hrithik Roshan. Shedding light on the Ayan Mukerji directorial, he recalled mentioning to the filmmaker about his work being completely based on his instincts and nothing else.
Tarak shared, “When I was shooting for War 2, Ayan did not know what was going to come. Because he was trying to bring it out from me, that's how this was going to come out. I told him, 'Ayan, I am very instinctive; kuch na kuch aa jayega (something will come).' Now, he is not used to doing this at all; he loves prep, and I am completely the opposite. And then Adi Sir was there in between, who said, 'It's ok, it's ok, I get it'.”
