After megastar Chiranjeevi and Balayya Babu’s landmark 150th and 100th films respectively, discussions about Nagarjuna Akkineni’s 100th film have also commenced in film circles. Akkineni fans are quite kicked about the milestone of their favorite hero but going by Nag’s comments, #Nag100 looks highly doubtful.
Nag has recently said that not his fans but he himself would take a call on his 100th film. The actor so far has some 92 films to his credit. However, Nag said that he wouldn’t consider the films in which he played guest roles and cameos as his starrers so as per Nag, his total would be around 80 only.
Even if the actor races against time and do two films a year, it would take him another 10 years to reach the 100th film. The actor is already 57 and we can’t expect him to continue playing lead roles for another 10 years. He might shift to potential supporting roles but then again he wouldn’t consider them as his films so the 100th film mark looks a distant dream as of now.
Given how the tastes of audiences have changed from routine commercial to content driven films and how the hero worship is slowly fading away, expecting movie lovers or even fans to have same enthusiasm over Nag’s 100th film after 10 years is too much to ask for.
The actor doesn’t look worried about his 100th film at all and it would be better if fans also don’t think of it as of now or it might lead to huge disappointment. Meanwhiel, Nag’s ‘Om Namo Venkatesaya’ is all set to hit screens on February 10.
