Tollywood’s evergreen star Akkineni Nagarjuna is back in the spotlight after the success of Kuberaa, where his powerful performance won hearts once again. Riding high on this appreciation, Nagarjuna seems more focused than ever on taking up content-rich and impactful roles.
The latest grapevine news from industry circles is that Nagarjuna has concluded his long-awaited 100th film — a milestone in his career that is filled with accolades. The actor was reportedly impressed with the story told by Tamil director Karthik and has given it a go-ahead, according to reports. This milestone film will be produced on the esteemed Annapurna Studios banner, making the milestone personal to the celebration.
But that’s not the only thing. Even before the shoot for his 100th film begins, Nagarjuna seems to be planning his next. Sources indicate that he is seriously contemplating the Telugu version of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Ayothi, which initially had Sasikumar in the lead. Highly impressed by the emotional content of the subject, Nagarjuna is reported to be part of this remake, which will be produced by Trident Arts.
With two promising films in the pipeline — a landmark 100th film and a meaningful remake — fans are now eagerly speculating if the King will officially announce both projects as a birthday treat on August 29. If so, it could turn out to be a double delight for Akkineni fans across the globe.
