During the pre release event of Jai Lava Kusa, Young Tiger NTR said two filmy personalities had encouraged him to work on Jai Lava Kusa. Further, NTR assured fans that he would disclose their names if the film would score a hit.
The film, though collected decent shares of Rs.70+ crores, couldn't reach break even as the film was sold out to Rs.85 crores world wide. Since the Young Tiger didn't disclose the names of those personalities, it's speculated NTR has understood the movie hadn't become that big hit as he expected.
Interestingly, Kona Venkat, who worked on the script of JLK, has revealed the names of those two personalities in his twitter page. He said SS Rajamouli and Koratala Siva had encouraged NTR in doing JLK. As we know, NTR and SSR have been great friends in the industry while Koratala Siva teamed up with NTR for the blockbuster film Janatha Garage.
