Nagarjuna Supports Son Through Akhil Failure

While promoting Soggade Chinni Nayana, actor Nagarjuna was asked about his son Akhil’s debut film Akhil. The movie was a failure at the box office and unsuccessful in catching the attention of the moviegoers. In his reply, the Geethanjali actor compared his son’s situation with his early times.

He said, “There was a time when I was made to act like Chiranjeevi garu and Balakrishna garu, because it is these two who had been reigning when I made my entry into films.  Nearly seven films did not work until Geethanjali happened.  I was in confusion as to why things were not working for me.  After watching Mouna Ragam, I kept requesting Mani Ratnam garu for one month to make a film with me and this is how Geethanjali happened.  It changed my career forever”.

The actor also stated, “I have asked him to search for characters that suit his sensibilities.  May be, audience do not want to see him in routine characters”. This was his advice for his son who he supports and believes in completely.
