Jr NTR, Rishab Shetty, director Neel, Pramod Shetty visit Kollur Temple

UDUPI: A day after visiting the Sri Krishna Temple in Udupi, actors Jr NTR, Rishab Shetty, Pramod Shetty and director Prashanth Neel visited the Kollur Mookambika Temple in the district with their families on Sunday.

On the second day of their tour, they arrived at the temple, participated in maha puja and offered prayers to Goddess Kollur Shri Mookambika Devi.  The four families met at the temple and partook in the prasada.

    After four decades, Jr NTR’s mother Shalini Nandamuri arrived in the coastal city. Jr NTR, who was accompanied by his family, including his wife Lakshmi, Rishab’s wife Pranathi, Prashanth’s wife Nikhita Neel, and children, took the darshan of the goddess following which the Kollur temple management felicitated them.

Jr NTR said that the temple visit was wonderful and thanked Rishab for arranging it. He also mentioned that he wouldn’t discuss his upcoming film, ‘Devara,’ at the temple and would only talk about it outside.

When asked about the possibility of working with Rishab Shetty in the future, Jr NTR said, “Rishab should plan something, and I am ready to work with him. This is not a comfortable place to talk about those things. I am going to watch ‘Laughing Buddha”.

Rishab Shetty congratulated Pramod Shetty on the success of his film ‘Laughing Buddha.’ Jr NTR and Rishab Shetty, however, dodged questions about the ‘Voice of Women’ report in Andhra Pradesh and the Darshan case, saying they wouldn’t comment on those issues at the temple.
