Perfect platform is set for that big blockbuster and Shakti seemed like the movie for him to do the needful. But that film ended up as a miserable flop and NTR fans hopes were shattered. Later this year he had another release Oosaravelli which also proved his capabilities as a crowd puller.
Sadly Oosaravelli too didn't hold its ground for long and ended up as an average fare at the box office. Analysts say that this is not the right time for NTR to slip down. Now he will have to work on getting that momentum back again. Hope next year proves lucky for him.
