An interesting backstory of Jr NTR’s animal chase sequence
During an interview session with Film Companion, RRR cinematographer Senthil Kumar shared an exciting behind-the-scenes story about the Jr NTR tiger chase sequence where he left the tiger behind with his lightning-fast speed.
Senthil recalled, "We were doing NTR's introduction sequence where he is supposed to run when the fox, wolf, and tiger are chasing. We told him that you have to run from here to here, and the camera is supposed to be following you. The moment we said 'Action,' NTR Jr was already there, and we were still figuring out how to move the camera."
Senthil further mentioned that it was a moment when he felt that he never realized Jr NTR could run this fast and then he asked the actor about the miracle that he had just seen.
