‘Weird experiences’ in the passenger seat
During the conversation, Ram Charan admitted that he prefers driving himself rather than sitting in the passenger seat. However, when asked whom he would trust behind the wheel, he quickly named Jr NTR. At the same time, Ram added a humorous warning. He revealed that several friends had narrated “very weird experiences” while sitting next to NTR in a car. Although Ram avoided sharing details, he hinted that he, too, had one such experience. Still, he concluded by calling Jr NTR “the safest of the lot,” striking a balance between praise and playful criticism.
RRR turned rivalry rumours into friendship
Meanwhile, Ram Charan also reflected on his strong friendship with Jr NTR, which surprised many fans when SS Rajamouli announced RRR. For years, reports suggested rivalry between the Konidela and Nandamuri families. However, both actors dismissed those claims during the film’s promotions. Ram Charan once said they chose friendship because they were “bored” of rivalry rumours lasting decades. Similarly, Jr NTR described their bond as a support system where they complement each other. Importantly, their friendship began years ago at a celebrity cricket tournament and grew stronger during RRR.
What’s next for Ram Charan and Jr NTR
On the work front, both actors remain busy with major projects. In 2025, Ram Charan starred in Shankar’s Game Changer and is now gearing up for Buchi Babu Sana’s sports drama Peddi, slated for a March release. Jr NTR, on the other hand, made his Bollywood debut with Ayan Mukerji’s War 2. He is currently shooting for Prashanth Neel’s upcoming film, though the release date remains unannounced. As fans await their next big-screen moments, Ram Charan’s light-hearted comments have once again highlighted their genuine camaraderie.
