శబరిమలకు పోటెత్తిన భక్తులు

In a time when many actors manage only one release every year or two, Nani stands out, consistently delivering at least two projects annually. Known for his swift adaptability and strong script sense, Nani is now set to partner with director Shiva Nirvana once again for a “new-age stylish family entertainer.” This film, under the Mythri Movie Makers banner and composed by Hesham, is positioned to be a quick-turnaround project with just a three-month shooting schedule. It’s slated for an early 2026 release, adding another intriguing collaboration to Nani’s rapidly growing slate.

Comparing this upcoming film with Nani’s ongoing project “Hit 3,” directed by Sailesh Kolanu, we can observe a clear genre and stylistic contrast. While “Hit 3” places Nani in a gritty, intense cop role in a high-stakes, pan-Indian thriller expected to release in 2025, his venture with Shiva Nirvana promises a more family-oriented, urban backdrop. This versatility highlights Nani’s commitment to exploring diverse characters and narratives, while also allowing him to seamlessly switch between demanding roles. In contrast, the Srikanth Odela film, expected for early 2026, may also carry elements of depth, given Odela’s reputation after “Dasara.”

Interestingly, Shiva Nirvana and Nani share a special history, with successful collaborations in “Ninnu Kori” and “Tuck Jagadish.” Both films, though family-centered, had distinct tonal shifts, with “Ninnu Kori” focusing on complex relationships and “Tuck Jagadish” embracing rural family dynamics. Their upcoming project is said to cater to urban sensibilities, bringing a refreshing twist to the family genre with a city-centric story, a style shift for both the director and the actor. Mythri Movie Makers backing this film further solidifies its potential for unique storytelling and mass appeal.

As Nani juggles roles from action cop to family man and everything in between, fans may wonder how he manages such variety in such a short span. But perhaps the real marvel lies in how Nani convinces us that he’s equally believable as a crime-busting officer as he is a relatable, new-age family man. For Nani, it seems, cinematic characters are like popcorn—they’re best enjoyed one after another, and he’s got the knack for serving them hot, fresh, and in record time!
