Alia Bhatt and Jr NTR, who are currently promoting their respective upcoming movies Jigra and Devara, came together for a special segment hosted by Karan Johar. During the chat, Alia and Jr NTR spoke at length about their experience of working with each other on SS Rajamouli's RRR.
Sharing that she was extremely nervous before the start of RRR shoot, Alia said, "I had heard so much about Tarak's stardom and the way he is, so I was naturally expecting to be severely intimidated. I was like, 'Okay, I am going to walk on the sets and forget all my lines.' I have been rehearsing for one year."
But Jr NTR made sure that Alia did not feel intimidated or nervous for long. "Contrary to what I had imagined, he was not intimidating at all. In fact, he was really helpful. I was very nervous, but he made me comfortable. When I was fumbling or was not sure, he could naturally correct me. What I love about him as an actor is that he is unpredictable," shared the Highway actress.
