Excitedly, he spoke about the big win of his song Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's directorial RRR. He also expressed his desire of working in a Marvel movie. However, it was his accent that netizens trolled brutally as the video surfaced on the internet.

In the video, Jr NTR was heard saying, “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 one of the social media users wrote, “When an American comes to India, he isn't picking up Indian accent to talk to us. We figure it out, don’t we? Why do we need to put up an accent for them?” Another user poked fun saying, “NTR unleashing his inner Anil Kapoor.”
