The South Indian cinema industry recently witnessed two major updates for its much-anticipated ventures. Firstly, in a recent report by Hindustan Times, it has been reported that Jr NTR has reduced his weight and become lean for his next film with director Prashanth Neel.
According to the report, a source said, “NTR is healthy and not on Ozempic, if that is what is being asked. He is fine and has been following a new diet. He has been working on his next film with Prashanth Neel.”
The source added that the actor has been under a new fitness regime since February 2025, and the leaner look is a result of that. For those unaware, the actor had made headlines after his new picture from Dubai went viral.
In the picture, the actor was seen having a leaner look, making way for online jabber. With the debate being taken up by netizens, many speculated that the actor was on Ozempic, a medicine that is used for treating type-2 diabetes and also results in weight loss.
