Nagarjuna poised for 100th film

For nearly four decades, Nagarjuna has given us many reasons to love him. His cool demeanour and elegance often left many drooling, and his fanbase is just an addition to all. The superstar has been prepping up hard for his milestone film. He recently revealed that the film would be helmed by Ra Karthik leaving fans excited. A source close to the production house reveals that the landmark was actually supposed to be announced on Nagarjuna’s birthday (August 29), but Coolie was running in the theatres. The action drama featured Nag in the role of an antagonist, and the actor didn’t want to shift focus on other projects. But now, he’s all geared to announce the milestone film.”

Nag continues to experiment

Recently, Season 9 of reality show Bigg Boss (Telugu) has kicked off, and Nagarjuna is hosting the show. The actor would soon shoot simultaneously for his 100th film and the reality show. Beyond all the developments, what surprised many is Nag’s choice to give a chance to a relatively new director for his landmark film. While many expected the actor to go ahead with a seasoned filmmaker, Nag sprung a surprise by announcing Ra Karthik’s name as director. “Nagarjuna introduced several directors to the film industry including Ram Gopal Varma (with Shiva). He loves to work with debut filmmakers given their fresh ideas. And he continues the practice even for his 100th film.” So, no surprises there at all.
