1) Tarak and his schooling
Tarak studied in the Vidyaranya High School in Hyderabad up till 10th grade and then went on to study in St. Mary’s college in Hyderabad where he finished his intermediate education.
2) Trained classical dancer
Jr. NTR is actually a formally trained Kuchipudi dancer. While not many people know this, if you have ever watched his movies, you know that he dances like he can do the steps in his sleep too. His Kuchipudi skills might just be the reason behind this.
3) An effortless performer quite literally
If you ask anyone who has worked with Jr. NTR earlier, they will tell you that he finishes most of his shots in single takes! Apart from this, the actor is also said to have rarely rehearsed his steps and yet it never seems so when you watch him on-screen. Jr. NTR is one of the most talented performers, without any doubt!
4) NTR and the number 9
Tarak is extremely fond of the number nine. If you find a car with the number 9999, on the roads of Hyderabad, it is most likely his car. Apparently, the actor doesn’t mind paying a handsome sum of money so he can have the number. Nine is certainly his most favourite number!
5) Even the Japanese love him!
Jr. NTR is the only Telugu actor to have a loyal fan base in Japan before any other actor did. A few of his films were dubbed in Japanese too. The only actor to have done it before he did is Thalaiva Rajnikanth himself! This fact alone proves how popular he is worldwide.
