It’s no secret that Indian cinema has a loyal fan base in Japan, with superstars like Rajinikanth, Prabhas, and Jr. NTR enjoying immense popularity there. Now, joining this prestigious list is Telugu cinema icon Nagarjuna Akkineni, who is winning hearts in the Land of the Rising Sun.
In Japan, the suffix “-sama” is a term of deep respect, reserved for deities, royalty, and highly esteemed individuals. So when Japanese fans lovingly address him as “Naga-sama,” it signifies the admiration and reverence they hold for him.
Nagarjuna’s international recognition grew significantly after his impactful portrayal of Deepak in Kuberaa. His calm yet powerful performance resonated with audiences, and Japanese fans in particular were drawn to the quiet strength and dignity of his character. While Nagarjuna has long been a major star in Indian cinema, it was his appearance in Brahmāstra that introduced him to a much wider global audience, earning him new admirers across borders.
This affection from Japan is proof that strong characters and memorable performances transcend language and culture. With the nickname “Naga-sama,” Nagarjuna has now established himself not only as a pan-Indian star but also as an actor with an ever-expanding global fanbase.
Up next, Nagarjuna will be seen playing a villain for the first time in his career in Coolie. Fans are eagerly waiting to watch him lock horns with none other than Superstar Rajinikanth in this gangster-action adventure.
