Celebrated filmmaker SS Rajamouli arrived with yet another magnum opus last month. The period action drama RRR is currently not only ruling the hearts of viewers but also the box office across the country. The film has emerged to be one of the most successful films in Indian cinema.

It is a package of emotions, drama, action, entertainment and a lot more. RRR follows the story of two freedom fighters who battle against the British government for their respective purposes. While Jr NTR played Komaran Bheem, Ram Charan wowed the audience with his role as Alluri Sitarama Raju. Jr NTR recently opened up on his freedom fighter role in the film and said more such stories should be shared with the audience. 

On Wednesday, April 6, the team of RRR got together for a press conference to celebrate the worldwide success of the film. During the conference, Jr NTR expressed his thoughts on his role. As per a report by Pinkvilla, Jr NTR highlighted the need to share the stories hidden in Indian culture. 

He said, "I think, there are so many stories hidden in our culture which have to be told to the world. I think it is our duty and responsibility to the next generation. When Rajamouli makes such films, he took us down the memory lane and also, gave it back to the society and pass things forward to the next generation."
