It's confirmed. Rana Daggubati, Allu Arjun, Prabhas and Mahesh Babu now have stiff competition. And this is not restricted to the silver screen alone. Joining Tollywood's six-pack abs club is none other than actor NTR Jr. It's confirmed that the actor is all set to go shirtless in his forthcoming film, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, directed by Harish Shankar.

Earlier, speculations did the rounds that NTR Jr is keen on sporting fab abs in keeping with Tollywood's latest fitness trend. Over time, the 'shirtless trend' has only gone ahead and established the fact that the desirability quotient of actors in Tollywood goes up drastically once they flaunt those abs on screen.

To this end, NTR Jr decided to train under international fitness trainer, John Shumate, who was introduced to the star by his co-actor from Baadshah, Ajaz Khan. "NTR Jr was very keen on getting fit. He was on the lookout for a trainer and that's when I suggested John's name to him," says Ajaz, adding, "His fans are in for a real treat when they'll see him go shirtless on screen. Tarak has worked really hard on his physique."

With pictures of the actor flaunting his abs doing the rounds on the Internet, it seems like NTR Jr has already managed to create some buzz around his forthcoming film.
