NTR attended the “Kantara Chapter 1” event on Sunday night, honoring a promise he made to Rishab Shetty, with whom he has developed a friendship over the past two years. However, his appearance sparked concern among fans.
The actor, still recovering from an injury he suffered during an ad shoot earlier this month, appeared visibly uncomfortable.
Sporting a full beard and a noticeably lean frame, NTR looked both pained and physically drained.
Fans have been urging him to regain some weight, as they feel the extremely lean look doesn’t suit him.
However, this physical transformation is reportedly required for his role in director Prashanth Neel’s film, which will be shot throughout summer 2026.
Beyond his weight loss, what troubled fans more was seeing him in evident discomfort due to the recent injury.
Social media is filled with posts urging him to prioritize his health, take proper rest, and follow a nutritious diet. |
