Popular Telugu film actor Junior NTR today said he would let his son Nandamuri Abhay Ram chose his own career path and not force his decisions on him.

"I am no one to decide his future...I really don't want to decide my son's future.I would like (to see) Abhay taking his (own) decisions," Junior NTR told reporters here.

The actor said his parents never decided on what he should become.

"It is destiny which has brought me into films," said Junior NTR, the grandson of legendary Telugu film actor and former chief minister, the late N T Rama Rao, who founded the TDP.

 

Star India today announced Junior NTR as the official Ambassador for broadcast of VIVO IPL 2018 in Telugu on Star MAA Movies.

The actor, affectionately called 'Young Tiger' by his fans, said when he was young he was a professional badminton player.

His favourite sports include cricket, soccer and rugby.

The actor said his favourite star is Sachin Tendulkar.

"I too play cricket.I love playing and watching cricket," he added.

On whether he has plans to own a cricket team, the actor said "no...never thought about it."

Asked if he plans to feature in a biopic, Junior NTR said he was a "little scared" portraying someone in a biopic.
