Jr NTR's physique in RRR impresses filmmaker Kevin Taft: I revolt if...

NTR Jr worked quite hard on his fitness for RRR. After the film's release, the Telugu star received immense praise for his transformed physique. Recently, Hollywood filmmaker Kevin Taft recently heaped praises on Jr NTR. The director admitted he was “bouncing in his seat” while watching RRR. Taft also said that he would like to know the name of Jr NTR's personal trainer. 

At the HCA Awards, Kevin Taft said, “It (the performance) had me bouncing in my seat, cheering at the screen and I desperately wanted to share the experience with my friends. With one of the most engaging and electrifying performances to grace the silver screen. I rose, I roared and if I don’t get the name NTR Jr’s personal trainer, I revolt.”
