Attributing titles to the big heroes is a common tradition in the south India and some iconic actors get some really big titles. The great N T Rama Rao got the title of ‘Viswa Vikhyata Nata Sarvabhouma’.
 
Throughout his career, N T Rama Rao did the majority of his movies in Telugu and a few in Tamil. However, it now appears that the true Viswa Vikhyata Nata Sarvabhouma is likely to be seen in the Tollywood circuit.
 
He is none other than Young Tiger Junior NTR. Apparently, Junior is all set to work with the tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli for a new movie and he is expected to give a commitment of three years. However, an official confirmation is awaited in this regard. Well, a movie with Rajamouli means it would get a universal appeal and hence, junior NTR might well be taking over this title from his grandfather.
