Actor Nagarjuna, who turned 57 is holidaying with his family at a beach resort in Thailand.“Nagarjuna along with his wife Amala and sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil is in Thailand on a short holiday. He will be celebrating his birthday with his family there,” a source close to the actor told..
He would also be releasing the teaser of his son Akhil’s debut Telugu film “Akhil”.Nagarjuna, son of the Ever Green Hero Akkineni Negeswara Rao, needs no introduction. Nag’s foray into films is an act of passion. Vikram(1986), his debutante film a Telugu remake of Hindi Hero), made a splash at the hearts of youth. He is currently busy with Om Namo Venkateshaya being directed by Raghavendar Rao. He came tolime light with the movie Shiva directed by RGV.
Nag paired up with his legendry father Sr Akkineni to produce ‘Collectorgari Abbai’. But it was the Midas touch of Aswini Dutt that proved Nag’s Box-office credentials. For the first time he paired up with Sridevi, who has done innumerable films with Nag’s father Nageswara Rao, in the film ‘Akhari Poratam’ that ran for 100 days in 12 centers.
It was ‘Geetanjali’ that has taken Nag’s image as a romantic hero to new heights. Deft direction by Manirathnam and crafty camera work by PC Sriram added to necessary gloss to the romantic image of Nag.
‘Shiva’ gave Nag much needed action Hero image and Nag made inroads into the hearts of students. Ultimate winner of ‘Shiva’ is none but Ram Gopal Varma, a debutant director. It was the Nag’s risky decision to employ a video operator as the director for his home production that did the trick.
Fueled by the success of Shiva, Nag made a grand entry into Hindi filmdom with the remake of ‘Shiva’. If you think Nag is fond of Shiva just because it changed the pace of his cine career, you are mistaken. This film has also got him Amala, his soul mate.
Nag paired up with Vamsi to produce one of the biggest Telugu romantic blockbusters, ‘Ninne Pelladatha’. After this film Nag faced the biggest challenge in his cine career. That is to act as Annamayya, the legendary singer/poet of medieval times. Talk about the result. It ran for 100 days in 42 centers. He has become a household demigod with his presence of ‘Annamayya’. Ramadasu and a film on Saibaba, now he is busy with Omnamo Venkateshaya.
Now he is planning to get his son Naga Chaitanya married to Samantha.
