To recall, Tollywood star Nagarjuna has been one of the most successful and much-loved hosts of Bigg Boss Telugu. However, he was trolled on multiple occasions and even got into controversies about hosting.
During promotions of his last film The Ghost, Nagarjuna had revealed to us that he plans to take a small sabbatical post the release of this Praveen Sattaru directorial.
He said, “In the sense, The Ghost and Brahmastra were accepted before Covid. But after Covid, I have realised that there is a lot of change in people’s taste. So I would really want to kind of take it easy this year, and don’t want any more releases in 2022. I think we need another six months more time to understand what people are coming to theatres for, and what they are going for OTT. So when the scripts are coming, I have to decide - ‘Okay, this we should keep for OTT, because I am open to doing OTT films too, and this we should do a theatrical release’. I am trying to figure it out."
Nagarjuna Akkineni further added, "At one point I had said, I will do what I feel like but no, those days are gone. You have to start thinking. So I said till the end of this year I don’t want to go to a set to start shooting."
