He really created a mark on me as an actor," he said.

While taking the centre stage, Jr NTR opened up on why films are not working at the box office. He said, "They (audience) want something more than what we are delivering now. I am a person who believes that we perform better when we are under pressure. So, it's good we are having this pressure. I think the industry in total has to accept this challenge and make better films for the audiences." Tarak further added that "I hope everyone understands that. I am not putting anyone down here. Let's accept the challenge, let's go ahead, and make great films for our audiences." At last, he shared his good wishes to team Brahmastra, "I pray that Brahmastra truly comes out as a Brahmastra of our Indian film industry."

Talking about Alia, the RRR actor said "Here, we have one of the finest actors of our generation. A very very close friend and a darling. I must say, everybody who is sitting here, the most emotion I share is with Rajamouli Sir and Nagarjuna Sir, it's only Alia. Because of the conversations we have had on RRR, she's such a gem of a person, one of the finest actors we have. Brahmastra is going to be another feather in her cap. All the very best, Alia." (With inputs from ANI)
