Nagarjuna Akkineni, who has a great love upon his father- late Akkineni Nageswara Rao, never misses a chance to showcase it publicly. Reminiscing his dad’s memories, Nag has done something unique and special. Nag has used his dad’s wrist watch in his upcoming film Soggade Chinni Nayana which ANR had bought in 1959.
This is not all. Also the dhoti’s (Pancha) clad by Nag in the film were of ANR which he had used in his old films. While this is considered as a great tribute by son Nag, already the stills and visuals featuring Nag in dhoti have got rave response.
Meanwhile, the much-talked about Bangarraju character, essayed by King Nagarjuna in the film is said to be inspired from the roles played by late Akkineni Nageswara Rao. Giving complete credit to ANR, Nag said that he’s a great fan of his dad’s roles against village backdrop.
Stating that the role Bangarraju gave him complete satisfaction, the 56-year-old star plays dual role as father and son in this film produced by his home banner Annapuran Studios. Directed by newcomer Kalyan Krishna, the film featuring Ramya Krishna, Lavanya Tripathi is expected to release for Sankranthi.
