Out of sight is out of mind. This is an old adage. But somebody needs to tell it anew to NTR Jr.

The young hero, as everyone knows, is now at career cross roads.

His last few releases have bit the dust spectacularly. His last release Narasimhudu, released a couple of months back, was such disaster that the producer tried to commit suicide.

In the event, NTR Jr desperately needs a hit. And at any rate, he needs a film released quickly that is not all is wrong with him.

But alas that does not seem to be the case.

His next film Ashok, directed by Surender, is about in the cradle stage. In other words, it will take at least three-fourth months to complete and be released.

So that will be more than eight months since his last film. For an up and coming hero, with hopes of becoming a star, this is not a good thing.

NTR has to understand that he has to speed up things or else his career itself will slow down.
