Tollywood just served up a moment so heartwarming, it could melt even the iciest sushi rolls. While promoting Devara in Japan, Jr NTR took a detour from cinema talk and dived straight into what’s clearly a shared passion — food. And not just any food, but the kind his dear friend Naga Chaitanya dishes out through his much-loved cloud kitchen, Shoyu.

“There’s this restaurant called Shoyu,” Jr NTR shared with genuine joy. “It’s owned by a very dear friend of mine — actor Naga Chaitanya. And let me tell you, Shoyu makes the best Japanese food, hands down. Their Sushies are just next level. I love Unagi, and Shoyu makes one of the best Unagi Sushies I’ve ever had.” No promotions. No rehearsed lines. Just oodles of respect, and the kind of love that doesn’t need a press release.

The clip of this spontaneous praise took over social media, with fans flooding Naga Chaitanya’s timeline in celebration. And true to his warm persona, Chay replied, “Thank you for these lovely words Jr NTR. I admire how openly you show love. You made our day! Wishing you all the success for Japan. Keep rocking.” It wasn’t just a friend supporting a friend. It was a moment dipped in authenticity — where admiration was the main ingredient, and brotherhood the secret sauce.

While Jr NTR continues to win hearts ahead of Devara, and Naga Chaitanya enjoys the success of Thandel with Sai Pallavi, it’s this beautiful exchange that’s left everyone smiling. In a world full of filters, here’s one reel that felt real. And if love had a taste, it might just be Unagi Sushi from Shoyu.
