Nagarjuna on his Bollywood comeback with Brahmastra: I was never craving for acceptance in Hindi film industry

Hindustan Times  

It took 17 years for South superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni to pick a Bollywood project after his last outing, LOC Kargil in 2003. And that’s because he was never “chasing a dream” of having a career in the Hindi film industry, and nothing has changed even today. South star Nagarjuna’s last Bollywood outing was in 2003 with war drama, LOC Kargil “Well, I don’t know what role Bollywood played in my career. So, it helps an actor’s career,” explains the 61-year-old, adding, “But, I’ve never looked at the craving of acceptance in Bollywood.” After establishing himself in the Telugu film industry, Nagarjuna made his Bollywood debut in 1990 with Shiva, and went on to do films such as Khuda Gawah, Drohi, Criminal and Zakhm. Looking back at his career trajectory so far, he says, “I’ve done some good films with good directors, and have fantastic experience doing whatever Bollywood films I’ve have done since the beginning”.
