I think NTR’s accent is firstly not as bad as people are making it out to be, secondly it’s a calculated PR strategy. Take it easy..let him try to spread his wings & fly. It’s good for Indian cinema if he breaks through the Hollywood global market. We all stand to gain from it.

He also tweeted in response to a journalist, "I think if NTR jr lived in the US, he'd sound exactly like how he sounded now because that's how HE would speak as a first gen immigrant. We all have relatives with even worse accents who've been living in the US for decades & yet we think we're experts on accents."
