Jr NTR diets to match Hrithik Roshan

Eshwar was asked if he had met Jr NTR because he didn’t have the opportunity to do that while shooting for RRR. He revealed that they did meet while shooting for an advertisement recently and said, “I recently met Jr NTR while shooting for a Zepto ad. He was a little weak while shooting for it. That day, he had a fever. He has also been dieting lately because he has to match Hrithik Roshan. It’s not easy to match Hrithik Roshan (laughs). I am not trying to match either, but I’m staying fit because Jr NTR anna (brother) inspires me.”

Jr NTR’s most recent picture from a Dubai vacation had left fans concerned because of how lean he looked.
