Jr NTR’s public disclosure of his depression draws attention

‘RRR’ actor Jr NTR recently openly discussed his depression. Despite being tagged as Tollywood’s top actor, Jr NTR said he too had faced depression.

During the chat, Jr NTR revealed that he was dragged into depression after he failed to come up with hits in his career.

Having entered the movie industry at the age of 18, he was ignorant about how things would work for him, after facing a few failures.

Jr NTR had bagged Rajamouli’s ‘Student No. 1’, which was a super hit at that point in time. Nevertheless, the ‘Janatha Garage’ hero soon suffered a steep fall.

At that time, as mentioned by Jr NTR he was wondering how long he would be able to maintain success since there was an inevitable fall ahead in life.

“I was not unhappy because my movie didn’t work. I was clueless about how my future life would go on.”

“I took my failure a hard way. I stopped working out, and became confused,” Jr NTR said.

In Jr NTR’s words, Rajamouli helped him cope with his difficult situation. He said, “Rajamouli helped me introspect, which made me a better person and a better performer.”

Jr NTR’s fans have appreciated him for publicly disclosing these episodes, which shows that mental health is no longer a taboo subject in Tollywood.

AP govt grants permission for reopening seized theatres

In the wake of theatres being seized in Andhra Pradesh, things were getting tense. It seems like the state government has now granted permission to reopen the theatres with immediate effect.

The government has given permission for the closed theatres to be reopened, but the theatre owners are warned that they must fix the problems within one month, or they will face confiscation once again.

A number of theatres in the state were shut down for not complying with basic guidelines.

In the process, close to 100 theatres were seized during the quality checks, while a number of theatres shut down voluntarily.

Several distributors, producers, and theatres owners had met with representatives of the Andhra Pradesh government earlier, seeking to resolve the issue.

With big-ticket movies like ‘RRR’ and ‘Radhe Shyam’ ready to hit the screens, the film trade in AP had pleaded with the government to take necessary steps.
