Nagarjuna 100: Akkineni Hero Takes Bold Gamble
Akkineni Nagarjuna is getting ready for a major milestone—his 100th film. But instead of choosing a safe and familiar path, he is once again showing faith in fresh talent. The veteran actor, known for experimenting with new directors, has chosen Ra Karthik to direct his landmark film.
Ra Karthik earned praise for his Tamil film Nitham Oru Vaanam. Now, he’s teaming up with Nagarjuna for a high-action entertainer. The movie will be produced by Annapurna Studios and is set to begin filming in July 2025. This film is not only a major step for Ra Karthik but also a bold decision by Nagarjuna to continue his tradition of encouraging young filmmakers.
Nagarjuna earlier worked with debut director Vijay Binni for Naa Saami Ranga, which became a surprise hit. His willingness to support new directors may not always guarantee box office success, but it has often led to creative and fresh storytelling. Fans are now hoping this new film will also be a big success.
Before his 100th film starts production, Nagarjuna will be seen in Kuberaa, a movie directed by Sekhar Kammula. It stars Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna alongside him. The film is set to release on June 20, and excitement is high.
With two exciting projects lined up, Nagarjuna’s career is looking strong as ever. By betting on young talent for his milestone film, he proves that innovation and trust can go hand in hand, even for an actor with decades of experience.
