Veteran Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna has always chosen to avoid negative roles and prefers to play positive characters. This decision is based on his desire to maintain a positive image and appeal to his loyal fan base.
One notable instance was when Nagarjuna was considered for the role of Arvind Swamy in Dhruva, the Telugu remake of the Tamil film Thani Oruvan, starring Ram Charan. Director Surender Reddy approached Nagarjuna with the idea of playing a stylish villain with a unique portrayal. However, Nagarjuna turned down the offer, staying true to his preference for positive roles.
Similarly, a few days back, director Lokesh Kanagaraj reportedly offered Nagarjuna a negative role in the upcoming film Coolie, starring superstar Rajinikanth. Despite the high-profile nature of the project, Nagarjuna chose to decline the role, sticking to his long-held stance. His decision is heavily influenced by his fans,...

TollywoodThe actor plays a musician in one role and a violent young man in another.Tnm StaffTwitterThe teaser for Krishnarjuna Yuddham is out. Starring Nani in dual roles, the film has been directed by Merlapaka Gandhi. Anupama Parameswaran and Rukshar Mir are the female leads. In the teaser, we get to see Nani playing two roles – one, a hep and flamboyant musician and another, a rustic youth given to violence. The first Nani appears to be quite the flirt, although the posters suggests that he is 'Arjun' while the other Nani plays 'Krishna'. Later in the teaser, see Nani dressed like Krishna in a play. In between, there is some theorizing on what women are like, with the 'rustic' Nani saying women are 'modable' and offering an explanation that women are very cruel. One wonders when Indian cinema will stop categorising women and adding to stereotypes just to get whistles from the audience. Expected to release on April 12, the film has music by Hiphop Tamizha. Nani released the teaser with the 'modable' line on his Twitter. Nani is basking in the success of his production Awe! which received rave reviews. The Prashant Varma directorial had Nani lending his voice to a fish. His earlier release McA with Sai Pallavi also did well at the box-office.
