Nagarjuna on Manmadhudu 2, working with young directors like Rahul Ravindran, and avoiding serious films

Firstpost  

For over a decade or so, there’s hardly been a conversation with Nagarjuna where he isn’t asked about his age and how he seems to be reversing the natural progression. In his latest film, Manmadhudu 2, Telugu remake of a 2006 French film, Prete-moi ta main, it’s Nagarjuna’s charming persona that has captured everyone’s attention once again. While Manmadhudu was more about romance between the two lead characters, here we have primarily focused on Sam’s relationship with his mother, three sisters, and Avantika.” The film is set in Portugal and it focuses on a fourth generation Telugu family, whose ancestors were sent to Europe to work as labourers. I think this is the purest form of Telugu I’ve spoken in my films since Annamayya,” Nagarjuna laughs, adding, “Moreover, it’s quite easy to shoot in Portugal. You might say how did I end up doing a film like Shiva or an Annamayya if I don’t like serious films, but the characters in both those films, I felt, were very inspiring.” Apart from Manmadhudu 2, the actor has also been in news as the host of Bigg Boss Season 3 in Telugu, and Nagarjuna admits that it’s been a new learning experience.
