Jr. NTR, who is currently enjoying the success of the global success of his 2022 film RRR, indirectly touched upon trolls who called his accent ‘fake’ at the Golden Globes red carpet. 

During the 80th Golden Globes, the RRR team arrived excited on the red carpet where they answered a few questions to the media. Talking about the film, Jr NTR said, "We thought, taking Rajamouli's track record into consideration, we definitely thought we had a winner. But this was something more than a winner in Japan and today, America… come on, you don't expect this to happen.”

Soon after the clip arrived on social media, a few netizens trolled the actor's ‘fake accent’. Before the Golden Globes, RRR's tickets were sold out within 98 seconds at Los Angeles' screening at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX. Speaking about the reception to RRR, Jr NTR told the LA Times newspaper, "This was faster than cooking Maggi. That’s the fastest food you can actually cook back in India!”

During the same conversation, Jr NTR also indirectly mentioned about his accent and said, “We are just divided by time zones and a little bit of an accent. Other than that, what an actor goes through in the West is exactly the same process as in the East.”
