Young Tiger NTR many feel became Kumbhakarna and are heard discussing as to who will wake him from the Kumbhakarna sleep. Everyone knows that NTR attained national stardom with his intense and emotional performance as freedom fighter Komaram Bheem in Rajamouli's RRR. From then on, his fan following increased tremendously across the country and they have been waiting for his next project.
When they came to know that NTR would be romancing Alia Bhatt in his next with Koratala Shiva, they got excited. However, their joy was short-lived as from then onwards, the project started getting delayed. Reports are coming that it will take another two to three months for the project to go to sets. In between, NTR teaming with Prashant Neel and Buchchi Babu Sana did a round, but nothing went to sets.
This is in stark contrast to not only his RRR co-stars but also other contemporary heroes. While Ram Charan who showed his prowess as Alluri Seetha Rama Raju did a cameo in his dad Chiranjeevi's Acharya and is busy shooting for his next with Shankar, doing a special role in Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan and lineup his next with Gautam Tinnanuri and is in talks with numerous directors. He is also handling the production activities of his dad Chiranjeevi's projects. Rajamouli is busy penning stories for Mahesh Babu's project. Alia Bhatt, even after becoming pregnant, is busy enacting breathtaking stunts for her upcoming films. Samuthirakhani is set to direct Pawan Kalyan and Ajay Devgn is busy with Bollywood projects.
While senior stars like Chiranjeevi is busy with three to four projects, Pawan Kalyan who is dabbling in both films and politics is busy lining up new projects and Balakrishna is busy with a few more projects. Among his contemporaries, Mahesh Babu is shooting for Trivikram Srinivas' project and lineup his next with Rajamouli. Prabhas already has multiple pan-India projects and is in talks with a few more. Allu Arjun is gearing up for Pushpa The Rule and is set to team with Trivikram Srinivas. Almost all the young heroes are busy with many projects and even Aadi Sai Kumar who is reeling under numerous projects is having half a dozen projects.
Many are wondering why NTR is wasting his precious time and also not cashing on the stardom, name, and recognition he got with RRR across the world. They say time and tide wait for none and if NTR doesn't get up from his deep sleep, he will be swept away from the tide. The question is who will wake NTR who became Kumbhakarana? It is known that Kumbhakarna sleeps for six months and works only for 6 months.
