Akkineni Nagarjuna is one of the top stars in Telugu cinema. However, there is no denying the fact that he is now past his prime, and solo projects with big cast and star directors are becoming harder to come by.
In 2024, he had only one release, Naa Saami Ranga. The film ended as a safe project, and Nag made decent money from it. However, it was a multi-starrer.
Apart from Naa Saami Ranga, Nagarjuna did not have any other projects in 2024. He also appeared on Bigg Boss 8 Telugu, but his hosting was criticized for playing it safe with a few celebrities on the show.
Despite these challenges, 2024 gave Nagarjuna a lot of clarity about his career. He realized that big-ticket star-hero films are the ones clicking with audiences and that being part of major projects and choosing roles that suit his age is the way forward.
As a result, he signed Sekhar Kammula’s Kubera with Dhanush and a Tamil film titled Coolie with Rajinikanth. Nagarjuna will be seen in exciting roles in these films, and his presence is expected to generate significant hype.
In 2025, Nagarjuna has also finalized a few solo projects with young directors. However, collaborations will remain his primary focus in 2025, which is the right approach for a superstar like him.
