Young Tiger NT Rama Rao, who had lots of weight till the release of Raakhi, got the help of doctors to cut his flab and gained a very lean look. He maintained the slim body for some days and started gaining weight slowly again.

First there were gossips that NTR was forced to eat good food soon after his marriage with Lakshmi Pranati at his in-laws house.

However, there is another reason for NTR gaining weight. It is learnt that NTR's character in 'Oosaravelli' demanded to have some different looks on various occasions. One of his shades of the character is a plump NTR. As per the demand of the script, NTR gained a little more or excess weight.

Now, he is on vigorous work outs to retain his old slim shape. 'Oosaravelli' is slated for release as a Dasara gift.
