The upcoming biggies, Kuberaa and Coolie, headlined by Dhanush and Rajinikanth, have a good buzz in Telugu states. One of the main reasons for the hype is King Nagarjuna’s presence in them. The actor is now promoting Kuberaa, and in an interview with Galatta Plus, the star made some interesting comments.
Bharadwaj Rangan asked Nag to comment on the narrative that the Hindi industry has lost its way and that Southern films are the ones currently working. The Tollywood actor replied, “These narratives always keep changing. It is like an actor or director going through a rough patch. Something cumulative has happened there. Films of different stars and directors cumulatively didn’t work, and then they started saying that the whole industry is failing.”
Nagarjuna said, “In my experience, the Telugu film industry has gone through a slump three times, and I strongly feel a fourth one is on the way. I’m quite sure about it. This usually happens when there are no major releases for a while, and the films that do release fail to perform well. I firmly believe another such crisis is imminent. I have a strong hunch.”
