Third Big Test For NTR –Countdown Begins for Jai Lava Kusa!The stars continue to have success and failure one after other. It is natural. Similarly, there come certain moments from time to time which catapults the stardom to next level. These moments are like the big test that one has to pass with distinction and if that happens, it leaves a substantial impact. We take a look at such moments for Young Tiger NTR.

The first big test for Jr NTR was after his initial blockbuster streak in back to back years 2001 (Student No 1), 2002 (Aadi), 2003 (Simhadri). It was the turn of Andhrawala in 2004, and a big success here would have put him at the top. His stardom was at the peak at that stage and age. Frankly, he hasn’t had such a run again.

The next big test came in the year 2011 with Shakti. The film followed the commercial success of Adurs and Brindavanam. It was also a point of time where his competitors were at the weakest position. A massive hit would have made him the front runner among the current generation. Alas! That wasn’t the case.

Now, years later, Tarak is in a similar position with Temper, Nannaku Prematho, and Janatha Garage’s success. Jai Lava Kusa is his next release. There is a remarkable change, and the star is pushing all the right buttons (makeover, subject selection, big boss, etc.). There is an excellent lineup ahead (Trivikram and Koratala Siva).

A big hit with Jai Lava Kusa will take him to the next level. The added advantage will be doing it in competition with Spyder. It will increase his stature as a star in the current generation of audience. It will give the big jump regarding acceptability among the general audience. Will Jr NTR be lucky third time and deliver? We will know in a month from now.
