SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, RRR, which was released last year, has been receiving tremendous appreciation from international communities. Several Hollywood filmmakers and celebrities hailed Jr NTR and Ram Charan starrer thereby making the country proud.
Now film’s song ‘Naatu Naatu’ won the Gloden Globe award in the Best Song category. The news comes as a jubilation moment for Indians across the world as it’s the first movie in two decades to be nominated for a prestigious international award.
While many are celebrating the illustrious moment, desi netizens were puzzled to hear ‘RRR’ star Jr NTR’s interview. Netizens were surprised to hear the Telugu star came off as excessively non-desi during the interview. Watch the video below:
Desi Twitter users criticized the actor for speaking with a distinct accent that, in their opinion, did not sound Indian. A user stated, “This is so absolutely cringe. Man went abroad last night and picked an accent, this is hilarious.” Another user added, “Having heard him speak English before it’s clearly a fake accent, but at least he pulled it off nicely. Still no need to fake anything!”
Here are some of the reactions
He should have replied in normal Indian accent. There is nothing wrong in Indian accent. This "act" only pushes the notion that American and British accents are the only correct way to speak English. Interestingly when he speaks Hindi, it's with some Telugu accent which is fine.
However, some fans of Jr NTR rushed to defend him. Some even spoke of how accents can vary and how they can change based on a number of factors. A user commented, “People in the comments complaining about his accent should know a thing called Adaptability. He did what he wanted to do and nailed that interview. He is not obligated to behave in a particular way just cuz he’s from a particular region. Stop complaining and Be proud (sic).”
