NTR Jr stands 175 cm tall, weighs about 78 kg and has a chest of 43 inches, waist of 32 inches and biceps of 15 inches. Oh, man! That is some physique! But it was not always this way for this now extremely popular and respected man. When he matched veteran actor Chiranjeevi’s son Konidela Ram Charan Teja – move for move in RRR, he also needed to look just as fit and impressive. How did NTR get the shredded look, ripped muscles, and lost weight for RRR?

Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Jr. was born to Nandamuri Balakrishna Rama Rao – the son of the late and iconic Telugu film and political icon NT Rama Rao. He had entered the film industry with the heavyweight heritage of lineage and the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth that ensures that you are welcomed into the fold.

But that is as far as that can carry you because after that begins the domain of the spectators who will judge you for your work.

Indeed, he candidly confesses that being born into a star family helped him kick-start his career enormously. “It (being a megastar’s grandson) helped me largely in the first movie itself because people believe that you have the same aura and capabilities as your grandfather. But after that, an actor can only bank upon his acting skills. I love being called NTR’s grandson. I never moved away from his shadow maybe because I didn’t try enough or maybe because I like it this way,” NTR Junior told Shweta Thakur of The Times Of India in 2010 when he was shooting in Jaipur and at Pushkar for his film Shakti.

The happily married, father of two and star of Telugu cinema is soon to be the toast of the world if reports in Variety magazine (USA) are right about him being a favourite for an Oscar.

NTR jr is a great health and fitness inspiration due to the way he shaped up in a short time through exercise. There is a distant history of a liposuction procedure long ago when he was preparing for a film named Yamadonga.

After Jai Lava Kusa, NTR Jr prepared for the next film by shedding 18 kg weight in a period of 5 months.

He continued his fitness training under celebrity fitness trainer Lloyd Stevens as he prepared next for the Kumaran Bheem (Komuram Bheemudo) role in RRR – the mega-hit by SS Rajamouli.

Shredding and six-packs did not come easy:

It is said he happily did the marathon jog during the preparations for RRR as SS Rajamouli made him run a lot in the Bulgarian wild for the famous lion sequence.

His diet was basically high-protein as he needed no flab and only a ripped look.

His gym routine every day is three hours of cardio and weight training.

Personal Trainer Lloyd Stevens wrote on Instagram: “PROUD is the only word that comes to mind … not just as a coach but for the whole @rrrmovie TEAM @jrntr @ssrajamouli I’m beyond grateful to be involved in this project, THANK YOU”

In October 2020 posted on Instagram that his work with the RRR star had begun two years ago. Their association has been a long one.

The journey of NTR Junior from Fat to Fit and from even being called ugly and obese to being the fitness icon was narrated by the champion himself on a TV show.

Now, if that does not inspire you, wonder what else can. Go, find your gym clothes and running shoes while there is still time to turn things around.
