  1. ^ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

N. T. Rama Rao Jr., commonly known as Jr. NTR and Tarak, is an Indian actor, dancer, and television presenter who works in Telugu films. Rama Rao first appeared as a child artiste in the film Brahmarshi Viswamitra, written, directed and starred by his grandfather N. T. Rama Rao in 1991.[1] He went on to play the titular role as Rama in the 1997 mythological film Ramayanam. Rama Rao made his debut as a lead actor in 2001 with the film Ninnu Choodalani, which was a box office failure. He tasted his first success in the same year with the S. S. Rajamouli's directorial debut, coming-of-age action film Student No.1.[2]

Though Subbu which released in the same year could not impress the audience,[3] his 2002 action film Aadi was a massive success.[4] For the film, Rama Rao received Nandi Special Jury Award presented by the Government of Andhra Pradesh.[5] The two next films Allari Ramudu and Naaga were back-to-back failures. His second collaboration with the director S. S. Rajamouli was the 2003 action film Simhadri, which ended up as one of the biggest blockbusters of that year. In the film, Rama Rao is seen as a kind-hearted man, Simhadri who has a violent past.[6] In 2004, Rama Rao played a dual role for the first time film Andhrawala directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film could not reach the high expectations and bombed at the box office.[7] Samba which released in the same year had a decent response but his subsequent films Naa Alludu, Narasimhudu and Ashok were a string of failures.[8][9]

In 2006, Rama Rao starred in the film Rakhi, which is considered one of his finest performances.[citation needed][by whom?] Though the film was an average grosser, his performance in the role of innocent man-turned vigilante and climax sequence were praised particularly.[10] In 2007, Rama Rao made his third collaboration with the director S. S. Rajamouli for the socio-fantasy film, Yamadonga. For this film, the actor made a complete body transformation and shed extra kilos.[10][11] The film was praised for its unique story and performances and became one of the biggest hits of that year.[12] Rama Rao has won his first Filmfare Award as Best Actor – Telugu for the film.[13]

In 2010, Rama Rao featured in two films, Adhurs and Brindavanam, both films were successful. Over the next few years, Rama Rao starred in several films, notably Oosaravelli and Baadshah. His consequent films, Ramayya Vasthavayya and Rabhasa were box office failures which received lukewarm response both audience and his fans alike, for which Rama Rao was deeply disappointed and promised his fans to work harder.[14] In 2015, Rama Rao made his second collaboration with the director Puri Jagannadh in the action film Temper which gave the actor a much needed comeback.[15] In the film, he played a corrupt police officer, whose life changes after stumbling upon a rape case. In his landmark 25th film, Rama Rao featured in the 2016 thriller – drama, Nannaku Prematho written and directed by Sukumar. The film explored emotional relationship between a father and his son spanning the last 30 days of the father's life.[16] Despite being an average grosser domestically, the film performed exceedingly well in the overseas.[17] In the same year, his film Janatha Garage, directed by Koratala Siva and co-starred by Malayalam actor Mohanlal, became the highest-grossing Tollywood film of that year collecting nearly ₹1.40 billion.[18] In 2017, Rama Rao played triple role for the first time in the action film Jai Lava Kusa which also grossed more than ₹1 billion. In the same year, he featured as the host for the first season of the television series Bigg Boss .[19]

In 2018, the actor teamed up with the director Trivikram for the action drama film, Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava. In the film, Rama Rao played a young man who decides to put an end to the bloodshed between two warring villages.[20] The film grossed more than ₹165 crore and became his highest grossing film surpassing Janatha Garage.[21] In 2021, Rama Rao returned to television as a host for the game show Evaru Meelo Koteeswarulu, the Telugu version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.[22] In his fourth collaboration with the director S. S. Rajamouli, Rama Rao played the role of the Indian revolutionary, Komaram Bheem in the period action film RRR. The film became a global phenomenon, receiving appreciation from India and overseas.[23][24] The performance of Rama Rao as Komaram Bheem has been lauded by the audience and critics alike.[25] He confirmed that his 30th film will be directed by Koratala Siva. This will be their second collaboration after Janatha Garage. His 31st film will be directed by Prashanth Neel. He is also set to make his Bollywood debut with War 2, the sequel to War (2019) in which he co-stars with Hrithik Roshan. The film is part of YRF Spy Universe.
