Jr NTR has been interviewed by KTLA and Entertainment Tonight ahead of Sunday's Oscar event. While on the former's show, Tarak said that he will be walking the red carpet at the prestigious event not as an actor but as someone who represents India along with his fellow 'RRR' co-star Ram Charan, director SS Rajamouli, composer MM Keeravani, lyricist Chandrabose, and singers Rahul Sipligunj as well as Kaala Bhairava.

"On that particular day, when we are gonna walk the carpet, I think we are not gonna walk as actors of a film called 'RRR'. I am not gonna walk as an actor. I am not gonna walk as Komaram Bheem. I am gonna walk as an Indian, with pride filled in my heart. We are going to carry the whole nation in our heart," the 'Aravindha Sametha' star said.

He added that he, Rajamouli, Ram Charan and others are going to walk with the nation in their hearts.
