Why 9999? The Secret Behind Jr NTR Lamborghini Urus Number
Many celebrities hold superstitions about their success and are ardent believers in numerology or the study of numbers. For example, Rakul Preet Singh doesn’t like doing important discussions on the 8th of any month, and Prosenjit Chatterjee uses 3 and 9 in his car license plates, mobile numbers, and even while booking hotel rooms.
Similarly, many believe that Jr NTR is superstitious about the number 9999, including it in his license plates and even his X handle (@tarak9999)! A News18 report states otherwise, claiming that the star does not use the number for superstitious reasons but because it has sentimental value.
So Jr. NTR uses the number 9999 not because it is lucky for him but because it is associated with his favorite individuals. The actor’s grandfather and father also used the same number plates, so using 9999 is his way of paying homage to them.

Lamborghini Urus Graphite Capsule
The Lamborghini Urus Graphite Capsule limited edition is the most well-known car in the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection. Jr. NTR was the first Indian buyer of the car. He purchased it in the matte black Nero Noctis finish in 2021.
The Jr. NTR Lamborghini car price was—wait for it—at a jaw-dropping ₹3.16 crore. What’s more, the star even spent ₹17 lakh on a special number plate ‘TS 09 FT 9999’! The Graphite Capsule Edition has many unique features that distinguish it from the standard Urus. It can sprint from 0-100 km/h in a mere 3.6 seconds and effortlessly hit top speeds of 305 km/h.
Cayman S Porsche Design Edition 1
Jr. NTR certainly likes buying unique cars. The next car on this list is a black Porsche Cayman Design Edition 1, incorrectly referred to as a Porsche 718 Cayman Style Edition by some media sources. It is also the most expensive car in the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection.
This car is an extremely rare Porsche model, as only 777 were produced worldwide between 2007 and 2008. The Cayman Porsche Design Edition 1 (also called DE1) was a Cayman S with exclusive cosmetic options that was released to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Porsche Design.
Contrary to popular belief, a Rolls-Royce isn’t the most expensive car you can buy in India. Well-specced supercars, when imported, can rack up prices way more than 20 to 30 crores. This gorgeous DE1 was priced starting from $69,900, or a mind-blowing ₹58.73 crore.
The special Cayman also included a briefcase with a pocket knife, a Flat Six Chronograph wristwatch worth more than $5000 (₹4.20 lakh), sunglasses, a pen, and a Porsche keyring.
The Cayman DE1’s most recognizable features include its all-black exterior with 3 medium black vertical stripes down the front. The middle stripe is thinner than the others, and the right stripe bears a PORSCHE DESIGN inscription.
This Porsche from the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection was registered in Hyderabad with the registration number AP 02 Q 9999. The only other Porsche DE1 in the country (that we know of) is registered in Bangalore. After all, not everyone can spend more than 50 crore on a car, plus 200% import fees!
Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV
The Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV is also part of the expensive N T Rama Rao Jr car collection. The Young Tiger owns a previous generation model of this 7-seater SUV. His GLS with license number AP 37 AX 9999 would have cost him ₹80 lakh-₹1 crore when it was launched.
Though beefy, the GLS isn’t slow and can comfortably do 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Tarak used this all-wheel-drive SUV for his daily commutes.
Range Rover Vogue
Tarak owns a previous generation model of the Range Rover Vogue. Like the rest of his cars, this one too sports a signature number plate, AP 37AX 9999. The Range Rover Vogue is an important addition to any celebrity’s collection of cars due to its spacious and highly luxurious interiors.
While the RRR star’s Range Rover would have cost an estimated ₹1.85 crore, the latest generation model of the same car costs ₹2.31 crore.
Skoda Superb
N T Rama Rao Jr car collection, includes a luxurious Skoda Superb sedan. In the rare picture above, he was spotted getting out of the car. The Tollywood star bought the car in 2007 and registered it at the Adilabad RTA office. He reportedly paid ₹50,000 for the registration number AP 01 R 9999.
This Skoda Superb would have cost him approximately ₹20-30 lakh. The newest generation of the Skoda Superb sedan costs ₹54 lakh and features a larger, improved silhouette with revised interior and exterior styling.
BMW 7-Series
Jr. NTR also owns a luxurious all-black BMW 7-Series 720LD sedan. This car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. It also features a signature 9999 license plate (TS 09 EL 9999), which the star bid ₹10.50 lakh for in an auction.
In the above picture, we can spot the Devara star driving his wife and kids to a family dinner. Tarak owns a previous generation BMW 7 Series in 2016 priced at ₹1.40 crore, while the updated version is priced starting from ₹1.70 crore.
Audi Q7
Jr. NTR reportedly also owns an Audi Q7 with registration number AP 09 BZ 9999. This car is rumored to be a wedding gift from the star’s father-in-law, Nare Srinivasa Rao. Apparently, the car cost ₹66 lakh, but Rao paid ₹6.51 lakh just to get the special registration number.
Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class
The above picture was posted by X user @Bhargav_Ram9999, captioned that Tarak Anna had bought two new cars: a Maybach S-Class and a Hyundai IONIQ 5. In the above picture, the first car, a new Mercedes, is parked next to Jr NTR’s Range Rover.
Here is a better look at the car, which, interestingly, does not have a 9999 license plate. Fans were surprised and confused when they realised that Tarak chose the unassuming registration number 1422 for this car instead. Would you like to know the reason why?
1422 is a combination of the birthdays of the Young Tiger’s children. Tarak’s younger son, Bhargav Ram, was born on 14 June 2018 and his elder son, Abhay Ram, was born on 22 July 2014. Thus, this new license plate number holds sentimental value for the superstar.
Tarak’s Mercedes-Benz Maybach S580 sports an Onyx Black finish with contrasting tan interiors and costs ₹3.13–3.95 crore.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
X user @Bhargav_Ram9999 also posted a picture of the second car, a Hyundai IONIQ 5, joining the N T Rama Rao Jr. car collection. While the Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class was registered by Tarak, there is no information about his black IONIQ EV. We do not know whether this car belongs to Jr. NTR; only that it was spotted at his residence. The IONIQ 5 costs ₹46.05 lakh, ex-showroom.
Toyota Vellfire
Jr. NTR was spotted in a Toyota Vellfire while leaving for Mumbai to shoot War 2. The MPV sports a TS09FY 1422 license plate and is the second car in the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection to have Tarak’s new registration number 1422.
The Vellfire has advanced creature comforts and spacious interiors that make it perfect for long-distance travel. It is priced between ₹1.41 and ₹1.53 crore.
Tata Safari
The Tata Safari in the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection has become infamously involved in many conspiracies and rumours. Most famously, the Temper star was behind the wheel of a Tata Safari during the infamous Jr. NTR car accident.
While returning from Khammam to Hyderabad after running political campaigns, Tarak’s Safari turned turtle and hit a tree. Tarak, who was driving, suffered minor injuries. The car has since not been spotted in the N T Rama Rao Jr car collection and costs between ₹18.47 and ₹31.62 lakh today.
Toyota Fortuner
According to one source, the Toyota Fortuner is the favorite vehicle of Jr NTR’s family. Tarak’s Fortuner bears the number plate TS 13 ED 9999. The above picture was taken during one of his campaigns. The Toyota Fortuner is popular due to its powerful performance and reliable build quality. It also has an imposing presence, just like Tarak himself.
This car is priced between ₹33.43 lakh and ₹51.44 lakh. It has a top speed of 190 km/h and a 5-Star ANCAP safety rating.
Rumors and Conspiracies
The Nandamuri family has been at the centre of rumours and speculations by the general public. Some believe that the circumstances of the car accidents that the family has gotten into are quite peculiar.
For starters, Tarak, his elder brother Janakiram, and his father, N. Harikrishna, were involved in separate car accidents on the same highway in the Nalgonda district. Both Janakiram and Harikrishna lost their lives in these accidents. Netizens speculate that Nalgonda might be unlucky for the Nandamuri family.
Others say that perhaps the cars they drove were unlucky. Janakiram and Tarak were driving Tata Safaris, but Harikrishna crashed his Toyota Fortuner. All three were not wearing seatbelts. Since losing two family members to road accidents, Jr NTR has been very vocal about the importance of driving safely, stressing that accidents can happen at any time.
