Films are all about making you believe in what you see on-screen. Hence, their will be fake make-up, fake blood, fake sets and many things that we don't see regularly around us.
Even tattoos that stars sport on-screen need not be real. But Sr. NTR, the legendary actor used to have the tattoo of Lord Krishna on his right hand.
Not many would have noticed it, as directors made a good job of hiding it. There used to be jokes that he played Krishna with a Krishna tattoo on hand like, "See Lord Krishna is wearing his image on his hand as tattoo!"
Well, the story behind the tattoo is that, NTR loves Lord Krishna and that is not story of the tattoo. He wore the name of his first son, Nandamuri Ramakrishna, who died young, as tattoo before joining films.
You can't notice the tattoo unless you watch closely at his right hand in many movies. He used to wear fake skin that covers it and even Cinematographers used to light him in such way that it is not obvious for us to notice in B&W times.
This story will have a high emotional pay off in the movie NTR biopic it seems. Not many know about it except for journalists who worked with NTR during his early days and hence, the fact remains unknown to this date!
