In an interview, Jr. NTR described the underwater shoot as one of the most challenging experiences of his career. The sequence, which includes a dramatic interaction with a shark, demanded extreme precision due to the brief periods actors could remain submerged. "If it is a six-second shot, we needed to rehearse it properly and execute it flawlessly," he explained.
It’s going to be a VISUAL TREAT 🙏🏻🔥

The depth of the pool, reaching 18 feet, added to the difficulty, as actors had to perform not just swimming but also fighting and acting while submerged. The lack of visibility without goggles further complicated the process, making it hard for him to see the camera. Despite these hurdles, the Telugu superstar expressed pride in the team's achievements, highlighting the sequence as a complex yet rewarding challenge.
The Journey.
