Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (born May 20, 1983) more popularly known as NTR Jr.,Tarak, or just NTR, is a popular Indian film actor. He is a grandson of Late Shri Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, who is a legendary actor, statesman, and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.[1] He is the son of Harikrishna and Shalini. He is fondly called as Tarak by his family, friends and close associates. Later, he changed his name to Taraka Rama Rao in honor of his grandfather. Many cine and political analysts believe that he is the next big star from nandamuri family
Career
Tarak began his career as a Kuchipudi dancer and a child artist. His first step into Tollywood was with the movie Bala Ramayanam, directed by Gunasekhar. Coincidently, his character in the movie was Lord Sri Rama, a role "patented" by his grandfather NTR ! After a few years, Tarak made his re-entry into the Tollywood with Ninnu Choodalani in 2001; but it failed to perform well at the box office. He went on to gain fame with Student No. 1 (also released in 2001), directed by S.S. Rajamouli, followed by Subbu and Aadi, which was a blockbuster, and created huge stardom for Tarak. In January 2003, Tarak came up with Naaga; though the movie raised some political issues worth giving a thought, it was average at box-office. However, in July 2003, his movie Simhadri became a block-buster and the highest grossing film in Tollywood, and made Tarak and director Rajamouli as household names. At the age of 20, he became a sensation of his generation and gave his seniors a run for their glory. When asked, what message would he like to give to fans, he responded by saying "I'm too young to give any message to all those who have so much respect and love for the Nandamuri family and me. I simply bow my head to them."
His first release of 2004, Andhrawala, flopped at the box office,[2] but the next movie Samba was a hit.[2] In 2005 his two releases, Naa Alludu and Narasimhudu, flopped at the box office. In 2006, his movie Ashok is also another flop in his career.
His next movie Rakhi, which was an average movie directed by Krishna Vamsi. His next movie, Yamadonga, which was inspired by his grandfather's blockbuster Yamagola, released on August 15, 2007. The movie brought him back into the super-hit stream. His latest release, Kantri is an average movie at the box-office. His acting abilities and his performance in Yamadonga, made Late Legendary Actor Shoban Babu remark Tarak as one of his favorite actors in this generation!
