It's not for nothing that NTR feels he is satisfying his fans and the audiences at large with the right kind of choices. Post 'Temper', he has come-of-age when it comes to picking challenging roles.

'Nannaku Prematho', 'Janatha Garage' and now 'Jai Lava Kusa' all have grossed more than USD 1.5 Million in the US. But this is just an indication of what the Young Tiger has been consistently doing. There are minimum guarantee stars. Then there is NTR, the minimum guarantee superstar.

"The total share in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana put together stands at Rs. 54.5 Cr (and Rs. 72 Cr worldwide) as of the end of the 12th day of its release.

It has joined the league of blockbusters that have grossed Rs. 125 Cr. After 'Baahubali-The Conclusion', 'Baahubali-The Beginning', 'Khaidi No.150', 'Srimanthudu', 'Janatha Garage', 'Atharintiki Daredi' and 'Sarrainodu', 'JLK' has become the eight sensation to have this jewel in its crown.

Barring 'Khaidi No. 150' and 'Sarrainodu', the rest of them catered to the family audience in an ample measure. And 'JLK', by the virtue of its very story, has attracted the family audience. NTR's forte also lies in selecting such scripts, as we have seen.
