A smashing hero
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 27 2004]
Fracas and film heroes are always natural born twins.
Tollywood heroes are notorious for landing themselves in boisterous trouble quite often.
The latest to join the list of infamy is NTR Jr.
The burly actor, who is on a roll these days, was also on a roll in his heavy Terracan last night. The only problem was that his speeding vehicle smashed into the compound wall of a hospital in Hyderabad.
But accidents are accidents. But accidents by heroes are front-page news and so when mediamen, hearing about the smash, arrived on the scene to shoot pictures, all hell seemed to break loose.
NTR Jr's acolytes did not want the scene to be pictured. It was dark irony in the dead of a night that a man whose basic job is to pose and act, was not willing to be shot and filmed.
Anyway, the fracas seemed to prolong with a couple one mediaman alleging that he was manhandled by the actor's men. Another said that his film roll was removed from the camera.
The accident occurred when NTR was returning from Nanakaramguda Studios, where he was shooting for Satyanaranamma productions.
Further investigations are on. But that NTR Jr could have done without this needless publicity.
After smashing records on screen, he has come down just smashing walls.
