Tollywood star NTR, known for his powerful acting and global fan base, has achieved a rare honor by featuring on the cover of Esquire India. Titled “From teen prodigy to pan-India powerhouse,” the cover showcases NTR in a stylish maroon sherwani, shot in Dubai. The photo has since gone viral.

Esquire praised NTR’s charisma and journey, calling him a self-made star who chose to carve his path despite his legacy. This marks his first-ever magazine cover, featured in their August issue.

NTR is actively gearing up for the release of War 2, hitting theatres on August 14, as part of his ongoing promotional spree.

He’s charismatic. He’s sharp. He’s one of the biggest names in Indian cinema. For a man born into a powerful legacy, NTR (@tarak9999) is uninterested in being defined by it. We celebrate his journey with our August issue, which happens to be his first-ever magazine cover. pic.twitter.com/XzNFoq2g32
