Nagarjuna has not had much success recently. For some time now, the films released on Sankranti have given him success. But the rest showed failures. The same thing happened this year.
Here is a list of Telugu films Nagarjuna has acted in in the last six years: Om Namo Venkatesaya, Raju Gari Gadhi 2, Officer, Devadasu, Manmadhudu 2, Wild Dog, Bangarraju, The Ghost, Naa Sami Ranga. Only “Bangarraju” and “Na Sami Ranga” were successful in this. Both are simple films that come to Sankranti. With that, Nagarjuna now got clarity.
If he watches action movies, people are not watching. Also experiments are not given much importance. So, Nagarjuna thinks that if he looks like an Andhra villager for Sankranthi and has fun for a while, people and his fans will see it. Hence, a movie like “Bangarraju” will be set for next Sankranti as well.
Nagarjuna is playing a pivotal role in Shekhar Kammula's film. But the hero is Dhanush. So, it is not a Nagarjuna movie. He will make sure that all the next films in which he acts as a hero come to Sankranti.
