Akkineni Nagarjuna: Not flashy, just consistent

Hyderabad: Not many actors in Indian cinema can say they’ve worked with legends, contemporaries, and rising stars across decades, languages, and film styles. Nagarjuna Akkineni can. With Kuberaa turning out to be a box-office winner, it’s yet another example of how he continues to stay relevant in an ever-changing industry.
Nagarjuna’s journey in cinema began alongside veterans like his father, the legendary ANR, and Krishna. Since then, he has shared screen space with iconic actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, and Harikrishna. What’s more, he has effortlessly adapted to newer collaborations too with stars like Nani, Dhanush, Ranbir Kapoor, Karthi, and of course, his son Naga Chaitanya.
