Since Manam, Nagarjuna seem to be a different actor. He is putting lot of effort in choosing different subjects and is also toiling hard to execute them perfectly. His next film, Oopiri is a bilingual and is titled Thozha in Tamil. He is dubbing for the Tamil version as well and it is his first time doing that.
“Playing the role of a quadriplegic bound to a wheelchair in #Oopiri #Thozha took a heavy toll on me as it required to sit in one place and emote …An assistant director was appointed just to check if I was moving my hands or legs even slightly while on the wheelchair,If I did, they’d re-shoot the scene again, as many times as it required.
It was extremely challenging, because at times my legs would go numb…For the emotional scenes, I told the crew to tie my hands and legs so that they will not move at any cost.Unlike the original, this is high on comedy drama. It has been tailor-made to suit the sensibilities of Telugu and Tamil audiences,” Nagarjuna said about his role.
The First Look Teaser of Nagarjuna and Karthi’s Oopiri was out the other day and it received superb response from all quarters. The audio release event of Oopiri will take place on February 28th and that will kick start the film promotions. Oopiri/Thozha are being planned for March 25th release.
