This is the popular expression of many Industry insiders and even the fans of the star actor. He is absolutely charming and mind-blowingly fit as a fiddle even at his age. He turned all the naysayers into his supporters and he is a true inspiration to many. Yes, it is not easy for any to be written off and then rise like a Phoenix to stamp their authority.
Being ANR’s son gave an easy entry to Akkineni Nagarjuna and even made him a star before debut. But that brought tremendous expectations on him and the burden was too much for him. From then on, he faced rejections from the audience with a smile and made himself strong enough to fight and come back from any situation. Until Shiva and Geetanjali, he was ANR’s son who’s getting popular but from then on, he became an accomplished star at the box office.
Still, he isn’t satisfied. He wanted to be known as an actor than a star and that made him search for new blood and new stories everywhere. Whatever he did, if it worked or even if it didn’t, his focus was to entertain the audience in new ways. He improved his dancing, dialogue delivery, expressions so much that Vikram Nagarjuna looked a pale dupe version of actual Nag, by the time Annamayya released and the movie showed what an actor he has become. That is the reason today, he can romance with Ladies as Bangarraju, show affection as a kid to parents as Bittu and without moving muscle, give Oopiri to Box Office. We wish Nagarjuna a great birthday and many more successful ‘New’ Films.
