“When I’m there, how can Naga Chaitanya play my father in the film Mahanati?” asks Nagarjuna, at the audio launch of the film. So why didn’t he play and why his son took the job? Here is his answer.
King Nagarjuna is quite elated to be part of Mahanati audio launch as he feels that his family is very much emotionally connected to the legendary actress Savitri. He stated that he is missing his father on the occasion. “ANR, NTR and Savitri are the three pillars and the names that are permanently etched in the history of Telugu cinema,” said Nag, adding that Savitri garu introduced him to Telugu silver screen when he is eight months old in Veluguneedalu movie.
At the same time, Nag stressed, “I’m too old to play the part as my dad in this film. So I’m happy that Naga Chaitanya played the role. With both my son and kodalu becoming part of this film, I feel that somewhere we are connected to the life of Savitri”.
He expressed quite a confidence in the film by saying, “Going by the trailers, I’ve got a very good feeling. And when I get such a feeling at functions, those films never failed. Mahanati team has a winner”.
Satire on media folks:
In the wake of recent comments from certain media houses that women are being looked down in Telugu Film Industry, Nagarjuna responded in style at the event.
“I’m proud of Telugu film industry that a biopic is being made on lady superstar Savitri garu. And this film is being produced by two ladies, Swapna and Priyanka Dutt. And I heard that there 20 lady technicians working for this movie, while this audio launch stage is also built by women only. That is the respect we give to women in Telugu film industry. Times are changing, things are changing and we’re too” said Nagarjuna, pushing the crowds into utmost cheers, claps and whistles.
So, Nagarjuna has joined the likes of Allu Arvind, Ram Charan and others who have defended Tollywood big time in the recent days.
