In the year gone by, NTR proved beyond doubt that he is slowly becoming a perfectionist. As an actor with a huge potential, he has mesmerized with his sheer energy, gusto and intensity film after film over a career spanning more than 15 years. If in 'Adhi', 'Simhadri', 'Yamadonga', 'Rakhi' he was at his emotional best, in 'Brindavanam', he was that quintessential family man with an actioner's streak. In 'Adhurs', he delivered his career best comedy role striking gold with the great Brahmanandam.

As an actor, NTR never stops to learn and evolve. If you had any doubt, you had better looked at his near-impeccable 'Nannaku Prematho' act. Thanks to Sukumar, NTR got to learn about the art of filmmaking better. As someone who gets into the skin of his character in a jiffy, NTR got emotionally connected to the script, pulling off an excellent act. Right from meticulous detailing (for example, batting an eyelid) to getting his diction right, NTR's studied prowess was on display.

In the coming months, he is all set to show a new side to his acting in KoratalaSiva's 'Janata Garage'. Hopefully, this should shake the BO records.

It's NTR's conviction that content-driven cinema is changing the industry. In an interview, he has opined that films like 'Srimanthudu', 'Manam', 'BhaleBhale Mogadivoy' doing great instils confidence. As for his dances, the talented and scintillating dancer looks forward to doing concept-driven songs (like 'Love Me Again' in 'Nannaku Prematho').

On the personal front, his little son Jr Young Tiger, better known as Abhay, is making him evolve day after day. As Samantha says, Abhay is his father's Xerox copy, complete with his father's pleasant face! NTR is that proud dad, that ever-evolving actor, that ever-so-humble human being who will hopefully challenge himself, experiment within the constraints and play a stellar role in changing the way industry churns out movies.
