NTR is a unique public speaker.  Even "anti-fans" will agree with it.  As soon as he takes the mic, he turns very earnest.  Rarely does he sound casual or unserious.  And when he wants to make a strong point, be assured that he will drench it in doses of sentimentality.  

So, speaking at Bharat Ane Nenu's event, he described Mahesh Babu as 'Anna'.  And he didn't reach this point normally.  "It may be new for you (people) to see me with him.  But it's not new for us.  You call him Prince, Superstar.  I call him Mahesh anna," NTR said.

And he went on to say, "I am not here as a chief guest.  I am here as a family member."  

Another high point came when he spoke in a language that die-hard fans would feel thrilled to listen to.  "This film should become a big hit.  To speak in your language, this should re-write records."

The 'Jai Lava Kusa' actor further said, "This is my wish as a family member.  His talent as an actor, his stamina as a hero are special.  I won't talk about how handsome he is.  No other hero has done so many experiments the way Mahesh anna has.  He does experimental films without bothering about the result.  We have only of late started making experimental films.  Mahesh anna is our inspiration in this.  In 'Janatha Garage', there is a dialogue where I say a rare plant breed has to be there forever.  Mahesh anna is such a rare one," Tarak said.  

Needless to say, his speech outshined Mahesh's!
