India has won big at the Oscars, grabbing two awards out of the three categories it has received nominations in. Now, videos of the RRR actor Jr NTR putting up a made-up accent during the Pre-Oscar events are again going viral.
The Fake Accent
‘Naatu Naatu’ from SS Rajamouli’s RRR won the Best Original Song award at the 95th Academy Awards, making history. Ram Charan and Jr NTR, the stars of the film, hugged each other as the award was announced.
Amid all this, a clip of NTR’s interview is going viral where the netizens are yet again bashing the Telugu actor for his accent during the Pre-Oscar events. The lead of SS Rajamouli’s superhit was speaking for an interview when he put on an American accent.
