Natural Star Nani, a prominent figure in South Indian cinema, has been making waves with his versatile performances. However, recent developments have stirred the industry, particularly concerning his anticipated collaboration with director Balagam Venu. The much-talked-about project has reportedly been canceled, leaving fans and industry insiders speculating about the reasons behind this decision.
Nani and top filmmaker Dil Raju have previously delivered two super hits, “MCA” and “Nenu Local.” The duo has been eager to team up again, but their plans have not materialized. Recently, there were strong speculations that Balagam Venu was in talks with Nani for a new film. A meeting took place, and Nani seemed to like the plot. Further discussions were planned to finalize the project. Dil Raju, who produced Balagam with Venu, was enthusiastic about the idea and believed Nani would be the perfect fit for the film.
However, the project with Balagam Venu has now been shelved. This news comes after another project with director Cibi Chakravarthi was also canceled. Several producers have been in talks with Nani for new projects, but it seems that not all of them are coming to fruition. There are also strong reports that Trivikram will direct a multi-starrer featuring Venkatesh and Nani soon.
Nani has a busy schedule ahead. He is set to start working on a film with Srikanth Odela, known for “Dasara,” from December this year. He is currently wrapping up the shoot of “Saripodaa Sanivaram,” which is expected to be completed by the end of May. With a slot open from June, Dil Raju was keen on locking Nani for the project with Balagam Venu to complete their hattrick of successful films. However, with the cancellation, it seems that this collaboration will have to wait.
Nani has been a significant presence in South Indian cinema, known for his unique role choices and dedication to his craft. After captivating audiences with his performances in “Dasara” and “Hi Nanna,” he is now focused on “Saripodaa Sanivaram,” directed by Vivek Athreya. This action-comedy is slated for release on August 29th, 2024, with DVV Danayya as the producer and Priyanka Arul Mohan as the female lead.
Despite the cancellation of the project with Balagam Venu, Nani has several confirmed projects on the horizon. One of them is an action-drama with director Srikanth Odela, which will be produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri. Additionally, there are hints of a potential collaboration with acclaimed Tamil director TJ Gnanavel, known for “Jai Bhim,” in 2025.
The buzz in media circles suggests potential delays or cancellations for some of Nani’s projects, but his commitment to his upcoming film “Saripodaa Sanivaaram” and other confirmed projects solidifies his active presence in the industry. Nani’s ability to adapt to different genres and his disciplined approach to his work have made him a sought-after actor in Tollywood.
The cancellation of the project with Balagam Venu is undoubtedly a setback, but it also opens up new possibilities for Nani. His fans eagerly await official announcements regarding his future projects and collaborations. With his impressive track record and dedication to his craft, Nani is sure to continue making significant contributions to South Indian cinema.
In the meantime, Nani’s fans can look forward to his upcoming releases and the exciting projects he has lined up. Despite the challenges and uncertainties, Nani’s star continues to shine brightly in the world of cinema.
