'My dad legend NTR appointed a Telugu teacher to train me in the language, poems, grammar and mythologies. All these features will be shown in detail in upcoming biopic NTR. 

My teacher Buddapatigaru used to teach me Telugu poems very well. If students do not recite perfectly, he used to give 'todapasham'. This fear of todapasham made me master Telugu and later started loving the language watching dad's films. Buddapati teacher appeared in few Telugu films as well,' said NBK.
