New Delhi: Telugu superstar Jr NTR is the latest Indian actor to join the actors brand in the Academy after his film RRR, co-starring Ram Charan and directed by SS Rajamouli, became the first full-length feature film to win an Oscar earlier this year.
In the wee hours of Thursday, October 19, the Academy took to its social media handles and shared the name of the five actors who have joined as its members this year. Apart from Jr NTR, the other actors included in the list are Ke Huy Quan, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Kerry Condon, and Rosa Salazar.
An Instagram post captioned, “Introducing Academy’s new member class of actors” was shared by the Academy on its official Instagram handle. “In the capable hands of these dedicated and gifted performers, stories transcend the confines of imagination, taking on a tangible, visceral existence that captivates viewers around the world. Through their nuanced expressions, compelling gestures, and authentic portrayals, they bridge the gap between fiction and reality, allowing us to see ourselves in the struggles, joys, and triumphs of the characters they bring to life,” read the caption on the post.
On the work front, Jr NTR will be seen in the action-packed entertainer Devara, also starrring Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. The film is slated to release in cinemas on April 5 next year in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
The Simhadri actor is all set to make his Bollywood debut in War 2, in which he will be seen along with Hrithik Roshan. The film is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster War and is reportedly being directed by Ayan Mukerji of Brahmastra fame. The makers are planning to release the film on January 25, 2025.
