The year 2006 is most crucial to NTR Jr. It is a make or break one for him.

He knows that after the monumental fiasco of Narasimhudu, his career is almost on the line.

His previous release Naa Alludu had also bitten the dust.

The alleged affair between him and Sameera Reddy also did not help matters.

But NTR Jr, who knows a thing or two about struggle and fight, has chosen to keep a dignified silence and instead concentrate on his work.

He is now fully entrenched with Ashok, his film under Surender.

Surender turned around the career of his step brother Kalyanram. So NTR is highly hopeful that Surender can work his magic on him too.

The movie stars Sameera as the heroine.

The film has come out very well, according to insiders.

Surender, who has a known for stylish and technical excellence, has brought that to the fore in the film.

The movie (shot with a Super 35mm camera) is being raved about in the trade circles.

And that is good news for NTR Jr.
