He is one of those rare phenomenons who can travel the globe with his films. With each film, he’s only gotten better. I feel that RRR was his plan of taking the West. What makes us very proud is that a small industry from South India, Tollywood, and one movie called RRR could open the gates to global cinema and bring us here,” Jr NTR advised LA Times.

Others, like actor Gulshan Devaiah, identified that code-switching was a factor and must be acquired positively:

I feel NTR’s accent is firstly not as dangerous as persons are making it out to be, secondly it is a calculated PR technique. Take it straightforward..let him attempt to unfold his wings & fly. It’s good for Indian cinema if he breaks via the Hollywood international market. We all stand to realize from it.
