Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos recently visited Hyderabad, sparking excitement as he spent quality time with the stars of the blockbuster film RRR. Social media is abuzz with pictures of Ted Sarandos sharing smiles and moments with Ram Charan and Jr NTR. Ted, who was in Mumbai for the premiere of The Archies, kept the purpose of his visit to Hyderabad under wraps, but one thing is certain he experienced the warm hospitality of the city.
Jr NTR took the initiative to host a delightful lunch for Ted Sarandos, capturing the essence of their time together with the words, It was such a pleasure hosting you and your team for lunch, Ted Sarandos. Enjoyed our conversation and the afternoon spent together indulging in our love for movies and food. The lunch gathering also included director Koratala Siva, who is currently working with Jr NTR in the upcoming film Devara, and actor Kalyanram.
The red carpet for Ted Sarandos was rolled out as soon as he landed in Hyderabad, with Ram Charan being the first celebrity to extend a warm welcome. The hospitality continued as they engaged in a chat at Ram Charan's residence. Chiranjeevi, along with Ram's cousins and actors Sai Dharam Tej and Vaisshnav Tej, also met Ted, capturing memorable moments in selfies.
Given the immense success of SS Rajamouli's RRR on the Netflix platform, fans are not surprised that Ted Sarandos chose to meet the stars in person. The historical epic, depicting the fictional tale of freedom fighters Alluri Sitaramaraju and Komaram Bheem, gained global acclaim after its digital release on Netflix. Notably, the film achieved top-ranking positions in 65 countries for several weeks, with the song Naatu Naatu winning both a Golden Globe and an Oscar.
The speculation among fans is now centered on whether there's a new collaborative project in the works for the stars and Netflix. Notably, Netflix has already acquired the rights to NTR's upcoming project, Devara, directed by Koratala Shiva, featuring Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist. The potential collaboration is eagerly awaited by fans, marking another exciting chapter in the relationship between Telugu cinema and the global streaming giant.
